A YZ250 seems fine. I would look into what internet parts venders will give you free shipping to the virgin islands, then buy a bike that they sell parts for. I always have to pay shipping to Hawaii for my YZ parts and it just bugs me. Oh yeah, and check out www.motosport.com they might ship to you for free.
