Quite. The DR and also the KLR are great knarly territory bikes. But again a compromise not brill on road and heavy for real dirt, but a good compromise. The KLR is very popular in the US where they really do have proer dirt roads.
Transalp very capable too. rob you could probably get one of those. Heavy for trails but a good cheap compromise and very capable on trails and twisty roads. Underrated. I had one once abroad for a week and it was a fine bike. |

To small for distance/road work dont you think tho? The amount of road work is the key here. I have a friend who rides a DR350 fair distances for laning and she finds it ok albeit a bit of a long trip. She is hard tho.

WHat about an xt660? Don't hear much press about them. The new transalp looks pretty nice
