I'm glad to see some other dual sporter's out there! I'm riding a KTM 640 enduro (took it on a 4,000mi trip, over 2,500 of that was all offroad/dirt) and it beats the heck out of my Harley Heritage softail that I had. I'll never have another Harley again.
Regarding the 250cc cruisers, my wife bought a Hyosung 250 cruiser, it gets insane mileage and is actually sort of fun to ride. I wouldn't spend much more than 5 mins on the highway though, for a commuter.
You can pick up a good used SV650 (Suzuki) for around 3 grand, it would probably be in really good shape as well, they dont' hold their value at all.
Look into the Kawi Ninja 250's as well. This year they replaced them with fuel injected 300, those have really good reviews for cheap prices.
I certainly wouldn't recommend commuting on a bike, unless your doing it because you love bikes. :thumbsup:
Notice the tank on my wife's Hyosung.
