[Wanted] XT225, DRZ 400s, KLX 250 or similar...

Hey guys, and girls...and others ;D

I'm in the market for a new bike. Narrowed (well sort of narrowed) my choices down to the XT 225. Love the look of the bike, and the idea of a 6 gear.
First choice was a WR250R, but price is an issue (Should anybody come across a clean WR250R in the 30-35k region, let me know)

If however, I do come across a DRZ 400s or a KLX 250 or some such similar bike, I'd be willing to consider. All depending on pricing of course. (the cheaper the better)

Bike is to be used as a toy, commuting maybe 50km a day (tar), and weekend bushbusting. May also be subjected to the occasional longer distance, 400km ride (this is where the XT worries me.)

Looking for something with low maintenance concerns, particularly for road riding.

Any other bike suggestions are most welcome.

Thank You
