Basically a sports tourer I want to say.
Sadly im restricted to essentially the LAMS list. When you apply for and are granted an exemption to the 250cc limit, they send you out a list of approved bikes, or anything that fits into the power/weight ratio (ala LAMS list basically).
Otherwise something along the lines of the sv650 (if I were allowed it). A do everything bike. I'm way more interested in smooth/safe riding the fast riding. It would be a great many years before I looked for anything sportier then that I reckon. I know im not ready for too much power.
If restricted to a LAMs style list...bikes like the GS/EN 500's are still quite small in frame size. There is the 650 savage (cruiser style) or (I owned an XTZ660 tenere') I would give a DR, KL, XT, GS, XTZ(1990's model) 650 a serious look. They are larger framed bikes and have good low down torque and will cruise quite happily at 110kph. If the GS stying appeals, Suzuki did a bike called the Freewind.. basicaly a DR650 with similar 'euro styling' of a BMW GS650. any of those (dr,gs,kl,xtz/xt) bikes have well proven engines that have been in production for over 20yrs and if looked after will provide big milages reliably.
