Some thoughts: Any cheap good runner on craigslist could be a candidate - but how to whittle them down?
Go the tupperware route (PC800) so the grime stays on the outside for the most part. Easy to clean when the urge overcomes you.
Small dual sport (250-350cc) in case you hit sand and fall down. Very light so easy to pick up and to repair - and cheap to run!
Scooters kinda fit all three catagories but maybe not cheap to fix if you drop it. Small wheels might be too squirrelly in sand (I really don't have any time on one so this is a WAG on my part - you have been warned!
).
I'd lean towards something with EFI so it would be easier to keep running than a carbed bike but it would not be a deal killer. Not sure what your commuting requirements are but at first blush I'd steer clear of larger machines suggested since they will drink more. When it comes to commuting I think thrifty would be a premium but we all have different ideas there. Shoot, the new 125 Honda Cub would be very nice!
