Since I'm in the market as well as the Operator and since people like Eisbein just bought a 250cc trail bike, lets see what is available in this interesting segment of the d/s market.

According to my limited knowledge one can buy a bike from one of the following origins in this segment:

1. Enduro based version
2. More street orientated versions - eg KLR250
3. More dedicated tourers - Baja, Raid, Djebel

I'm interested in the latter - the are normally a bit more comfy ito seats, have a bigger tenk and better lights, most have electric starts too.  Models to consider are:

Yamaha TTR 250 Raid
Honda XR 250 Baja
Suzuki DR 250 Djebel

Any information will be appreciated.

Cheers
Hein
