I think that maybe the new KLR and the Transalp may be more similar in what they are designed to do best, i.e. good road and gravel performance, where the DR is leaning slightly more towards the dirt end of the dual purpose roles.
Apparently the US army are still using some petrol models, but have mostly changed over to a diesel engined model, that is quite modified for their purpose. (probably not many of us need bullet proof tyres ?)
Cheers,
Grant.
