All of those bikes are solid rides. Personally I would purchase the XR,
it has one of the most bullet proof engines on any dirt bike. Here in
the states we don't get the KLX250R we get a KLX300R and it is a
watercooled machine, doesn't overheat in the type of riding I do but I
don't follow cattle either. The TT250R is a nice bike, as is the DRZ
both seem to be holding up well. I have never ridden either bike, but
from what I have seen the DRZ seems to be more "hard core" than the TT.
Wish I could be more help,
Louis
P.S. Have you considered the WR250? Not good for following cattle, but
alot of fun when you aren't at a walking pace.
