Which do you want?

Tard it.. because out of those bikes, that is what *I* would choose. My other choice would have been adventure/touring but I'm not tall enough for 90% of those bikes.

oh i forgot to mention

if it was affordable the SMC but realistically i will probly get a mini motard before i get a bigger one

Tard FTW

My preference is the WR250X, cause I could hooligan it all over and if I dropped it, wouldn't cost so much to fix back up

And it looks bad in black!!

Motard no question.

You can slap a set of nobbys on there is you want to off road it.

I don't know much about motards, but I wouldn't think it would be suitable for offroad use anymore if you actually set the suspension up for street use. You could leave the dirtbike suspension, but you would sacrifice street performance for the versatility.

My vote would go to a serious motard if there was a good place to use it. The small tank prevents you from going too far from a gas station at any given time, and the infestation of the gap makes having such a narrowly focused bike less desirable. Maybe you could pick up a motard and club race it fairly cheaply in between street use.

If you have someplace you like to ride off road, a dirtbike. If not probably a KTM Motard/dual sport of some flavor.
