Cheers,
DRZ's are great, but too pricey and I'd have to wear platforms to reach the ground

The cbf250/ybr250 that looks like it could be it, but the ones I can find at the moment are around £2k.
Maxi-scoot... hmmm....
Looking through adds, DR350 could be tempting... any idea how bike's like this like filtering between cars on dual carriageway's?
