I'm going toward a Scrambler but not the way most have gone about it. I'm trying to make it more capable. There are a few guys in India on YouTube with some good scramblers, one even bolted on the front and rear suspension including aluminum swingarm from a burned Triumph 1200 xc, it came out pretty well.
I see used Interceptors and Continentals in the $3500 range from time to time.
