Good Day Wild Dogs,

I'm finally looking to get back on a bike. (Had to sell my Dakar to pay for my wedding last year.)

Looking for a road legal plastic bike. preferably around the 450 size and weight.
So thinking KTM 450, Beta 400, Husky TE, all second hand.
Will be used as a Cedar Road traffic beater some days, and a weekend explorer at weekends. I'm no MX jumper or anything like that, just want to get off the beaten track when I can.
I want something light, as I am no Evel Knievel pro-rider, and something not too expensive if I do drop it.

My budget is around R30k.

I'm all ears! There's a ton on here about the KTM's, and a bit about the Husky's. Not much on the Beta though.
Could consider others too, if they match up?
