A lot of folks love the KDX200 (2 stroke); the XR200; and the XT225. The KDX is far "hotter" than the other two; but taken together, the three get many votes for top trail bikes. You could get a nice XR250L for that price. The DR350 is considerably heavier if you don't require road work you might want to go with one of the lighter bikes... Kurt
