84-86 IT 200s can be had for a few hundred and are easy as heck to work on and reliable, plus they are extremely light (85, and 86 have front disk). Late 80s through 90s KDXs are fine machines. A late 80s on KTM EXC would be good if in decent shape. An early 90s Yamaha WR 200 or 250 is a good bet. Early 90s RMXs are fairly cheap. Plenty to choose from.
