Perhaps the WR250R? It has lowering links and the like available-it's a really nice bike.
Maybe WR250X? if we're still talking supermoto.

I picked up my Duke this weekend in Tuscon and drove back to Cali with it. Due to poor weather, I only put about 40 miles on it. That being said here are my initial impressions:
Pros:
Wicked fun
Very flickable
Good power
Great brakes
Excellent suspension
High quality parts all the way around
Cons:
It's not a Ducati - it does not have the organic beauty that the Monster has (pre-redesign). For that reason I miss the timeless ascetics of the monster. It also does not have the soul of a Ducati.
Too quiet with stock pipe
Has a little buzzieness to it
Hard seat
Verdict so far:
It's a great bike, I wish Ducati made something similar. I'm going to have lots of fun with this.
