After much more reading (square eyed and eye drops needed) im pretty much decided on a DRZ400SM.
In its basic form its not the best for off roading but for fire roads and the less technical stuff all info points to it being ok with the right tyres.
Some also consider the suspension being stiffer therefore less likely to bottom out and its easier/cheaper to swap wheels than suspension. For road riding the brakes are better apparantly. On the wheels front i can get the larger ones from the S and make use of the existing rotors, only issue being the speedo drive.
Ive worked out that my immediate goal is an adventure trip to Morrocco so that shouldnt call for to deal with anything like deep mud. Theres a few companies that run these sorts of trips.
Anyone point out anything where ive gone wrong in my logic?
