HI all

After 4 years of CBT I am doing my DAS course next month and I have encountered the same old problem of what to buy when i pass budget is limited so i had my sights on maybe the old funduro for around £1500(probably less) but have read reviews that state it struggles with serious offroad. As a new rider I dont really know what that means but as I want to start doing some greenlaning etc.. I was thinking about upping the budget to the old africa twin which seems from my reading to be able to do pretty much anything so (with a good rider I mean) my concern with the africa twin is that it is heavy and tall and im only 5'7 maybe 5'9 with me boots on.

so the question is this. considering im just starting out and at this stage im not planning to ride the deepest part of Mongolia would the F650 be more than enough for say a year or should i just not bother and save an extra month or so to get the more capable AT? or something else? budget is £2500 max if I want to be on the road this summer and seeing as i AM going to drop it at some point.

Its also worth mentioning that i would be doing maybe 30/70 offroad/road I would like to be able to keep up with motorway traffic which is why i've not really considered a smaller cc dual sport +plus the short legs but I think ive mentioned those

I know this sort of question is asked a lot but i would really like some advice
