Never ridden the DR650 so I was going to sit this one out.
If you want one bike you have to compromise. If you want to ride SDAR get the DR and suffer long hours on the freeway. If you want to see the country get the DL and sit out the goat trails and deep sand (the DL650 will go a lot of places, but you'll destroy it if you try to keep up with thumpers in the dirt).
Thankyou for the feedback. I'm just waiting for a deal on a DL650 to show up, either that, or I may buy one new, as ABS is a mighty nice highway feature. OF course I'll have to rig up a kill switch...
