Anybody into greenlaning?

I don't know enough about them, but look into the different varients, like the true enduro version, dual purpose, flatside carbs etc.

Get one with one previous lady owner which has just done dry trips to the shops.

I must agree with what everyone has said that DRZ's are spot on for green laning, but it depends on how much road work you want the bike to do as well. If you are a fair distance from any decent lanes then you are gonna have to ride the bike there or trailer it (not as much fun), so bear that in mind. Myself i green lane a dominator (NX650), as I like a bit of a challenge and use her all through the winter. Dommie is a bit heavy to start off on though, DRZ's are great, but dont rule out the big thumpers like the dommie and the XT if you still want a competent bike that you can really use on the road

Yep, the Xt's are good too, bit comfier and a bit more sedate but still good.

Honda XR's (250 or 400) are tough, light and reliable and definitely not too powerful. My 250 proved perfect for a first bike and has a comfy seat for when you're riding on road.
