I'm surprised no-one mentioned the Tenere? For my liking those kinds of bikes are the perfect do all bikes so I'm very biased to large single adventure bikes. I've owned the old 3AJ tenere and currently own a Dakar BM and just love the do it all attitude the designers had with these. With the right skills the DL can certainly covers the same level of difficulty, but for the more medium skilled person the DL would be a handfull I reckon. I reckon you have a big gap in philosophy between the designs you mentioned.
