Don't know what your budget is like, but KDX220s are worth a look - they're really good!
More money, KTM 200exc or any of the European enduro bikes.Avoid the crossers, they can make good trail bikes, but the gearing isn't ideal, the suspension is all wrong and the power is explosive, even with flywheel weights and a fatty pipe.

I have a very very small bit of inheritance. So far managed not to blow it on fixed gear bicycles.
Trying and failing to find a suitable and local (within 100 mile round trip from Swindon) trials or enduro.
Relatively specific, should be an older twin/mono trials suitable for green lanes as well as trials. Or, an older enduro that was basically a trials bike with a bigger tank.
Can't find any Suzuki Beamish or Yamaha TY, or Honda TL/TLM nearby. Can't find anything else similar.
There was a Suzuki TS125r not too far away, but that's just a pokey baby 2T, and probably not a big enough engine to satisfy me... considering I already own the heavy DR350, and a 2016 Sherco ST300.
Not sure what my options are closer to crossers, and I don't think they'd suit me. I want to climb narrow rutted hills, not bomb along dunes.
I want to do that with something with a bigger fuel capacity than my ST300... but I guess I could just look at a second similar ST, and fork out for a long range tank. Boo.
