    i don't have the patience to look through one of Nordie's vids to screenshot you a photo of it lying on it's side, but i only star in the one and you don't have to look very hard in that....

    a DR650 better value? (i'm on the fence which bike to progress to, wanting something that can do a light tour and gravel road bash, perhaps the DR? though like the fairing of the KLR)

    you're not gonna wanna tour on an XR650R, the seat is not at comfortable for distance. I've not had first hand experience with the DR or the KLR, but both would probably make a better bike for use on the road. Buy an XR if you want big tree pulling torque, and silly make you grin power, but not if you wanna tour the country

    thats a xr650l and not r

    different bike and seat looks comfier but its not on lams list although you can apply i think

    the xr650r seat is bearable - there are worse. one guy did the dusty butt on his two up and rode down from up north somewhere. but yeah for that price you can get a new dr

    also might be hard to get a bigger tank for that model as they are not that common

    bored and googling now - just seen that the xr650l is still a current model overseas never new that...... electric start as well. wonder why they dont bring them to nz new - a bit of competition for the dr
