Does anyone actually make a trail bike?

[Ksithumper]

Us oldies remember trail bikes from the 60s/70s like the XL/DT/TS range that were not much more than road bikes with trials tyres and wide bars and a bit of gravel capability.
I'm looking for a bike I can chuck in the back of my campervan so the missus and I can explore within say a 50 mile range. My Africa Twin is way too lardy to lob in/out of the van easily. I'm currently using a 50 year old TS250 which is ok but not exactly roomy 2 up (though I did the NCT 500 and more on it solo last year).
So what is the moderni-ish equivalent? Can a CR250L cope with a pillion? Enfield?? The new Triumph 400 looks to be a cracker but I can't justify £6k, would like to spend half that.
60mph cruising is fine. Don't want a scooter 'cos I may want to play on a muddy trail occasionally. 200cc min 'cos I am of manly build
What else should I consider?

CRF 250/300 would probably be my first option. It has the balance of having "enough" to pootle around, reliability, aftermarket support, service intervals, cope with a pillion (cope being imperative with anything in this range really).
I'd probably also put WR250R and KLX250 in this bracket although seem to command strong used prices and are/were less common so aftermarket in the UK might be weaker.

Other options I can think of would be DRZ400, Beta ALP, GPX do an air cooled 250 but is styled like an enduro (read narrow hard seat) as do AJP with a 240.

DRZ400S...maybe...but they do weigh about 150kg...

The new xr150 doesn't look too bad. About 120kg, smooth ride, some off road capability, economical

...they can buy them brand new in America for less than 3000 dollars (£2400)...

Wish they sold them here, I regret selling my XR125L
Such a capable bike!

My wife's XR125l has been sitting neglected in a container for about six years.
