Don't get a DR... my mate has one and they are st. The amount of times we have had it in pieces is ridiculous. Also they are ridiculously heavy being only 9lbs lighter than a DRZ400.


I'll go ahead and say Sinnis Apache, you will be able to pick one up cheap and I loved mine.


EDIT: DR's are fuel injected anyway

Not sure on your budget, but what about a Yamaha WR125

What do you want it for? An XL is going to be pretty rubbish off road. In fact any 4T 125 is going to be rubbish off road. If you want it for a short distance commute, the XL is as good as any, although it may make you lose the will to live.

It says 'winter project' in the OP.
