Agreed, keep it safe... is best idea.

wut.
It'll be nicked before you've even got it home.
Buy a 19mm+ Almax/Pragmasis and a ground anchor. If its going in the garden go and find the biggest plant pot you can buy and 2 of the thickest D locks...then cement those d locks into the pot of cement and use that as your ground anchor. Chain through that and the frame of the bike, not the wheel.
I still wouldn't buy a road legal offroader unless you want to bring it indoors.
Most sports are fairly narrow, off roaders tend to have quite high but wide bars. Could go for a new KTM, but they aren't exactly top of the reliable chain, so would expect it to be intermittent at best.
YBR250, hard to come by, but there are some. Parts though...
Little 250 Ninja, very narrow on the whole and are a handful of fun, still a low powered engine but it really isn't too bad.
SV650, naked one should be slim.

Some of the newer sports bikes are tiny too. When I stand next to an R6, I worry it would disappear up the crack of my arse if I sat on it. It's significantly shorter than an ER5. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Miniscule piece of Japanese home market insanity. If you could find one (and they are rare as rocking horse poo), you could pick up an SDR200 under one arm and carry it.
Strictly for the vertically challenged, I had a sit on one but at 6'1", I wouldn't be able to ride one on account of the handlebars hitting my knees. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.
