The toughest low maintenance modernish bike I know of is the Scorpa TYS125. They have the same (4 stroke) motor as the TTR125 Yamaha trailbike and are great fun to ride.
If you prefer an old bike a Yamaha TY175 or 250 twinshock or 250 monoshock would be a good choice.
It might help if you put up how much money you are willing to spend
relax, nothing is under control
