That’s very kind of you, though being based down near Falmouth, N Yorkshire is a long way!

Yamaha WR 250 would be my choice

There have been a couple of WR250Rs for sale on here recently-ish.

G310 in the for sale section would fit the bill

If you like the DRZ engine wise but want a better suspension and performance find yourself an immaculate late model CCM 404. lighter .WP suspension, Brembo brakes ,FCR carb

Found this thread very interesting as I always like the idea of getting a green lane type of bike. The positive comments about the Himalayan got me interested so much that I checked it out on MCN reviews and dealer websites. In so doing I came across the Enfield Classic Trials 500 so I wondered how this would compare to the Himalayan as another possible option? Has anyone got one of these?

I ended up buying a 2018 Rally Raid BMW G310GS!

Lee , as you’ll know , I have your old DRZ 400 you may be interested to know that last month I was out on Salisbury Plain with a new Himalayan .

That Himalayan is currently under a long warranty claim list

I’d suggest that one of these bikes is a lot more fit for purpose than the other .
