For the same reason you did not buy a 2010 XR650R :P
The enduro ticks quite a few of the right boxes for an adventure bike.
I think if they had made the tank just a big larger (up to 18l at least)
Added a bit more structure to the rear subframe/tank setup (for luggage and extra fuel weight)
Decent front faring to keep the wind off
A wider more comfortable seat they would have a pretty decent 690ADV.
The 5000km service is not too bad, easy enough to do the 5000km ones yourself, the 10,000 need a dealer.
