[QUOTE="truespode, post: 1480196, member: 29329"] CRF from Honda and TTR lines from Yamaha are pretty good trailbikes. The CRF230 or TTR250 may work for you and the TTR125 works well for the wife or even CRF150 (not the race version). I had a CRF150 for my first wife back in 2005 and it was a great bike and a lot of fun. If you aren't going to race then they will be fine for what you are looking for and the cost you have in mind. They are very reliable as well but make sure you familiarize yourself with how to change the oil, oil filter and air filter as well as other basic maintenance (chain, spokes, etc.). You never want to leave them sit long with the gas on because it will plug up the carburetor. I would empty the carb when I knew I wasn't going to ride for a few weeks or so even with the gas petcock off. Suzuki has the DRZ line and Kawasaki has the KLX line. The older DRZ250's were awesome. The DRZ400 is a really good option if you want something bigger but may be above the 5k mark. The KLX300 is great but other than that there isn't much from Kawasaki that you may like for just trails. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
