Do note that the DL is fuel-injected, so basically it is not as 'easy' to fix as, say, a KLR, which has carburetors. But if you stay in Europe and Australia, you'll be within the dealer network, so workshops and spares will be available.
The same goes for all fuel-injected bikes of course... and Suzuki's system seems to be very reliable, have heard very few complaints, and my own experience backs this up completely. I had an SV650 before the DL, done over 100.000kms with the two (its basically the same engine) and never ever has the FI light come on indicating trouble.
When buying such a bike second-hand, however, I would try to find out its history as best as I could. They do need regular maintenance, too.
