Did you check cooneyrs KTM 950 for sale or is it too much $ for you too?
Here it is on TM. (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Dual-purpose/auction-319625825.htm)

Bit of a bad time to be selling bikes I believe, everyone focusing on other stuff as you'd expect.

Wish I could help you out. I want this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Dual-purpose/auction-323160761.htm) but reality is putting rego on the XR250, a replacement kitchen and bigger car for the pram :facepalm:

Ha ha,cheers Ryan, priorities eh! Yours are greater than mine my friend.
I,m selling the bird too as I hardly used it this year as I was too busy having too much fun off road.
So the TDM will become my usual runaround and the xt for the off road stuff and hanging out for your Dusty Butt ride with the Clarence jollies thrown in for good luck.
I,m not sure about not finding out till the last minute about the route as that might cause some confusion with people heading off in different directions for fuel stops and criss crossing each other.
Anyhoo the bike situation will sort itself out and I ll see what I end up with..:scooter:

Yep still thinking that through. Adds to the "fun" but makes things more complicated too.

those reasons plus the fact that at the time 900 did not come up oftern and they were a bit more than i wanted to spend.
At the time i was looking was looking at AT,XTZ750 and maybe a GSPD.My GSPD came up locally and the rest is hi$tory
