the XRL will handle pretty much anything. I wouldn't say commuting in London is too much fun, but if you've got some rough roads, too, it'll soak up the bumps. it'll handle serious overlanding too - I road 35000km in Africa last year. that said, there are other bikes like the Transalp and Africa Twin that can do easy off-roading. some people use them for really ragged stuff, but that's where the XRL comes in. on a scale from commuting to rallying, with overlanding in between, I'd rank them: Africa Twin, Transalp, XRL, XRR.
