Question Looking For a Dual Sport - SE New England

I'm hoping to get out on the trail again this year after a looong hiatus (decades!)
Looking for a smallish, reasonably priced dual sport to add to the stable.
Been haunting CL several times daily, nothing yet...

Any of the smaller dealers in the region one might suggest?
OR
If anyone knows of a suitable mount looking for a home...

(I'm leaning strongly toward a DR350!)

Flea Market?

You should post up in the Bikes section of the Flea Market. If you haven't already, of course. There are many WTB (wanted to buy) ads and there are many DR350s out there. PM my buddy Flandiz and he might even sell you his.

yah Hammer! It'd be great if you could come to a camp-and-ride in Pachaug. Come to burger night; I'm sure someone knows someone who has something you'd like.

What happened with that New Bedford DR350 you asked about in Thumpers?

"$3500"
That's a lot more than I have to spend on this addition to the family. Looking for something not too much more than 1k.

But Thanks for suggesting...
