Just not the XT, they have horrible fuelling issues and are too heavy. The fuelling can be fixed with quite simple mods, but it is never fully cured and smooth like the carbs on your gen 1. For that money, I would go older and carbed. Something light and grunty, such as a honda XR 600/650 (600 usually cheaper, don't always have indicators or electric start though), an MZ baghira, KTM LC4 640, Husqvarna 610 sm, Kawasaki KLX 650 or my personal favorite the CCM 604 or 644 dual sport / R30 depending which you like the look of more. CCM is where I would be putting my money, fair few about as well. Good luck!
Similar thoughts to above - something totally different and trailie based.
A traillie which will hold it's value ..........and there's a new comeback model in the pipeline.

Aswell as the Fazer, I've got the '98 Carbed Tiger 900 (885 not 855i) which i absolutely love riding - a totally different experience to the Fazer.
It's a keeper and is rising in value. It will also lose most bikes through the twisties.
Good luck fella :thumbup
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
