Default Thoughts people! (new bike)

I'm now in NZ and am looking for a second-bike for off-road and getting round town. Last time Hovis, suggested a DR350, which was awesome, so I'm looking at a couple of those again, but I have also come across this:

It seems pretty good and although I have heard of Gas Gas, I don't know much about them. Does anyone have any thoughts??

Thanks
Luke

it's basically the spainish take on the CCM 404 I have, it's a DRZ engine ( so bits are standard Suzuki), with fancy bits bolted on, should be fun and more poke than a DR350.

cheers Mark.
