Only problem with an XR250 would be the seat height - yes, it's a far more capable off-road bike than something like an XL125, but if half (or more) of the "owners" can't sit on it properly or start it, then they won't really get their money's worth. The 125 idea is a good one for a "group" bike and if any of the "owners" like off-roading enough they can sell their stake and get a suitable off-roader of their own [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
