Looking at buying a new bike next month, and the D Tracker is probably the most sensible choice, but thought I'd throw this out there just in case anyone has any better ideas.
I live in Bangkok and travel up country fairly regularly, and play around on the dirt roads when I get there, so the key requirements are:
Needs to be able to cope with dirt roads, stones, pot holes etc
Needs to be able to do 2-3 hours on the road without shaking my teeth out
Needs to be able to pass a road block without paying a fortune
I don't mind something that needs a bit of tinkering, so something like an XR250 hasn't been ruled out, but it seems like you get a pretty well worn one for less than a new D Tracker.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
