    Wanted: Enduro/Supermoto

    I'd appreciate a bit of guidance here folks.

    I'm interested in buying and exporting (back here to Ireland) an Enduro/Supermoto or even an "urban trail" type bike.

    Will be 1995 or earlier, with low miles and probably the most important thing is condition. I'm after a minter. Low maintenance would be a plus also, as I'll only do tiny mileage and it'll be almost 100% on road. I just like the styling and high riding position, and relatively low performance will hopefully mean a lowish chance of a prang

    400-650cc.

    Any suggestions?

    I've seen a very tidy XR400, and a lovely KLR650 on a couple of websites.

    1995 or earlier would qualify it for classic insurance. Normal insurance here in the Emerald Isle is prohibitively expensive.

    Any thoughts on a BMW F650?
