Steve,
What about '08 GasGas EC250 for the woods and Husky TE610 for the other stuff. You could even add a set of SM wheels for way less than what a Beemer costs. Matt was telling me his SM610 pulls 75 on the highway for miles with no issues, and is decent on dirt roads even with the SM wheels. The motor is solid, cheaper than a KTM, and its eaiser to get a deal on one. Big cat pipe is ugly but thats fixable. Remember that everything GasGas does to make the 4-stroke a better woods bike(and it is) will make it worse on the road. Its more race focused every year and thats a good thing. Try to compromise and you get just that. Get something more streetable and we can tear up some backroads later this summer!
