I'm considering getting a second bike to use for green laneing and just general exploring around on off road terrain.

I know nothing about these types of bikes as I've only ever owned road bikes before so I am open to all recommendations.

My Criteria is as follows -
  • Must be road legal
  • As off road capable as possible
  • Reliable
  • The longer the service intervals the better
  • Able to maintain motorway speeds without fear of blowing up the engine
  • Something I can fall off of / drop with minimal damage being caused
  • Something not to heavy or bulky
  • If possible, something that wont depreciate too much
My budget is 3k. Sorry in advance if I'm being quite demanding here.

Thanks smile

Thanks for all the replies especially to Moulder. I Think the DRZ 400 is looking like my best bet at the moment. I will start looking.
