It did cross my mind, but...Great running bike?

My wife would never forgive me!
I love my RMX and C50 as they are both one kick bikes

And if things go wrong, one kick will send them a long way.
Although a decent size backpack and an adjustable crescent is all you'd need to pack them away...

Jantar is ok. He rode a DL1000 through the Maungatapu back when it was still rough. One of his cronies was on a Tiger...
A DR650 in first can go up tracks slower than a DL1000 in first behind it

Well 22 pages and still on topic makes it a worthy contender. But if you don't want it a sticky I can change that.Wot the ????

yeah. The GSX just doesn't have the ground clearance of the DL so I knew when I bought it that I'd need a true adventure bike to get my back country fix. Mind you, I did take the DL into some places that tested both bike and rider. (As a certain group who bravely followed me over the Old Dunstan when it was wet clay and snow can testify.)
And whether I end up with a DR650 or a DRZ400, I will still gear it down one or two teeth....A DR650 in first can go up tracks slower than a DL1000 in first behind it

The bonus of the 650 is that even geared down to 15/46 (same as 14/43, stock is 15/41), it'll cruise at 110kph.And whether I end up with a DR650 or a DRZ400, I will still gear it down one or two teeth.

While it will do that, how far can you comfortably ride with that gearing?
I run 15/43 and did about 400km yesterday, 300 of which was at ~100km/h. With that gearing things were feeling pretty buzzy by the time I got home.

Im using 16/43 for gravel/road and 14/43 for when it gets sticky. 15/43 made me wish i had one of the otherones on?

Half the DB1K and back home from Fairlie to Nelson.
15/43 = 4850rpm at 110kph.
14/43 = 5200rpm at 110kph.
I rode down to the DB with 16/46 (same as 15/43) and it felt too high geared for me.
The first longer ride I did with 14/43 was the NIIOTS and it felt a little revvy on the road but was brilliant off.
Now I've got the mindset of not lugging the engine and keeping it over 3000rpm minimum, I feel a lot happier with more revs.
Max torque is at 5000rpm, max power at 6000rpm.
