Mongolia with £2500?

Hi,

as I'm travelling through Europe to mongolia next year and am on a student grant, I will be buying 2nd hand and have narrowed it down slightly but was wondering what is best for my budget?

I am 171 pound 6"2 with a 6 years experience ( off road ) and currently have a cheap 1998 kawasaki KLX250... but am looking to get either:

(1) Honda XR400 with 22 litre tank
(2) Kawasaki KLR 250
(3) Yamaha XT660

or ( if I can find one cheap enough ) BMW F650 GS Dakar...
What would be best for £2500?! ( £3000 at a pinch...)

Thanks,
Tom

Why not use the KLX? You already know the bike. Keep the £2500 for emergencies/extras. Stay off the motorways (see more that way) and you'll be fine.

Your knee and shin may thank you if you get a bike with a kickstart and electric.....

Use the KLX.
It will do it no troubles.
Just stay out of mud when it rains in Mngla.
The slipperiest and stickiest I have ever encountered, I couldnt even walk on it...

Enjoy, a great part of the world.
