i think a klr 650 drivetrain would do. they are bulletproof and there are bazillions of them around. another option would be a drz400. a buddy of mine has one and it gets very good mileage.
why don't you build one. let everyone else know how it goes.

I hope I gave more thought to my project then you did to your post.
