    Question work horse/green laner

    thinking of getting a bike for work (20 mile trip) with a wee bit of green laning included on the way(all above board of course), need some ideas to guide me, I know i want 4 stroke, elec start tahts about it.
    Something like Honda crf, suzuki rm/dr, yamaha yz, KTM, CCM etc
    Whats your views.
    I did have a GSXR but it used to kick shit out of my back and wrists on those mental spins out over the moors and i need to calm down now.

    Iv got a 2001 WR426 and i love it,can go out for the whole day on one tank of fuel and still have some left when you get home,its really comfortable and its very reliable,in three years of owning it all its ever had is a spark plug,so would really recommend one of them
    If you cant see your face in it,You havnt polished it enough!
