I promised myself I'd do it this autumn/winter but just browsing the classifieds I've not got a clue what model of bike I'm looking for!

I've heard of the Suzuki DRZ400. That's it. What are the equivalent Yamaha/Honda/KTM variants?

Thanks for the excellent replies. I'm in Sittingbourne in Kent so not sure what the trails are like on my doorstep but I can't imagine them being the toughest in the land.

The DRZ400 is looking like an excellent candidate, I'm not into extremes of maintenance, I'll change the oil/filter and wash it. So reliability is a big factor so the KTM although awesome is probably out of the question.

What's the insurance like? I currently have an 09 R1 so expecting cheaper but do I need to declare I'll be going down the lanes on it?
