I agree with Spare and SSIRedfish about having a dealer who is reputable for whatever brand you buy. Doesn't matter what kind of deal you get if you can't get parts or service down the road in a reasonable manner. For what it's worth go south of the border or to any other off the beaten path tropical place you'll see the locals all run Yamaha Enduros.
If it were me I'd run the old John Rude till she bit the dust.
