Nice one.. will have look at that bike. Being short ass 5'5'' I've been strugg
ling to find green lane machines with low seat height. Thinking about getting one to save my SV from winter rust and more winter fun.

Seen a '95 BMW F650 with 32k on for only £850 but not so sure whether its good to take off road. Alternatively I keep on looking for DR350s and DRZ400s but think I might get left behind on the road. THere also doesnt seem to be many under £1800.
Anyone throw some light on this? I know theres a few on here who are into getting dirty on the trail so share some knowledge with me.

..... used to have the XT600E as a road bike, absolutely loved it (used to manage 90mph now and then to keep up with my hubby's fazer), but way too big for me especially to try any green laning with it. Would be within the budget as I sold it 2 years ago for £1200 as mint condition. Sure the XT660 would be better now
