Your budget gives you a good range of choice for a bike, but there arent that many 33bhp enduro machines.
The best suited one would probably be the Suzuki DR350. A big, reliable and quite nippy bike designed for the 33bhp market, (I believe its bang on 33bhp as standard.) Personally, I think they look great and are fairly cheap, ranging from around £800 for something older to about £2000 for something in great condition. A quick eBay search found this. Just gives you an idea of what they're like if you dont know already. Also found this one which is in that better condition. Would definitely suit road use and off road fun due to having such a decent power plant.
Only other one I can think of is the Honda XR250. Not quite sure what sort of power its putting out, but I believe its around the range of 30bhp. Gorgeous machines but that bit more expensive than the older DR350. Again, very reliable and would suit all kinds of use.
I'm sure others will have more information, but thats all I can think of for now. ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

my dad had 2 KLR250's, old ones mind aouy and he loved them, put his mates Tenere to shame in every respect, that much so his mate sold it and bought a KLR250...
i had a shot of it once and the torque is something else, not a slow machine and very light! |

I was looking at this range of bikes for after my test and I was going to go for one of the following:
Kawasaki KLR 250
Honda XR 250
Suzuki DR 350
They all come in under the 33bhp restriction (if my memory serves correctly ).
In the end I got a Kawasaki KLR600 and restricted it because my dad managed to get it for a nice price (cheaper than all the other bikes I was looking at) and I was going to keep this bike for a long time anyway so after 2 years I can just derestrict it instead of upgrading.
