Avoid early F650GS they have front forks that are dodgy and are expensive bikes for what you get .
KLR 650 or DR650 would be a good choice if you want to do mild off road or lots of gravel .
Buy as new a bike as you can ,there should be some good trade-ins coming on the market about now [ or maybe not - recession blues !!!!!] .

Good comment here IMO. It's the on/off road compromise which is always difficult.
