overheating has caused many, many severe engine damages on 86/87 teneres (1VJ).
but with some simple modifications, mainly on the airbox, she can be as relaible as any tenere.
i don't know the suzuki dr600, but i have heard many bad storys.
since the market and avaibility of spare parts is better for the tenere, i would recommend her (what else shall i say... ;-) ).
if you have further questions concerning 1VJ modifications, you may contact me via www.xt600.de or look here, there's a lot about it in other threads.
regards
klaus
