It may seem peculiar to have such wildly different bikes on the radar if you were looking specifically at the unique capabilities offroad or for specific use.
I am after a reasonably reliable bike that can make the commute safer than my scooter, almost any bike over 250cc would probably do this...
Thanks for the advice all...
There are just SO many bikes to choose from, i guess that's a good thing. I have a search radar on for a number of bikes and will probably wait until I find a gem.
I would very much still consider a X Country if I find the right one, especially because its likely to...

Sold that when we left SA, we are now back and my wife's dodgy 150cc Bigboy...
