I rode 50,000 km of South America on a modified xr650l (see sopgear.com for setup) while my partners for 1/2 the trip were on XR600's. Maybe it's a grass is greener thing, but I think the 600 is the better bike, unless you are very adverse to kickstarting. The 600 is lighter, more powerful, and simpler (less to go wrong)
