As far as dual-sports/enduros, we won't have as wide a selection as Europe. A Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki in the 650 range should suffice, and these bikes are fairly plentiful in the states, and should be easy to find in the L.A. area. Look a few posts up at the links to recycler.com and cycletrader.com I should have added to use a zip code of 91325 (one of the many zip codes in the Los Angeles area) when it asks what zip code to use. One problem I can forsee in your search is the vast area that makes up the greater L.A. area. If you are staying with friends/relatives it should be easier to get to a bike to look at. Otherwise, it might be a logistical nightmare due to the immense size of what will come up in your search area. Not to discourage you, but try to find someone from here (Horizons) in that area to help you out if you don't have anyone there already.
