Its interesting that most members so far, me included when considering the XR, just plumbed for what looked capable and available at the time but do not seem at all disappointed by their choices!
I find that quite encouraging: a small reminder that its the rider and what you experience that makes a trip, rather than purely the bike
It just goes to show, in my opinion, that spec sheets are a bit of a waste of time, other than the simple pre-purchase therapy of window shopping and licking one's lips at the prospect.
Perhaps the next time a newbie poster gets embroiled in a storm of opinions we should direct them here and point out: "See? If you get what you like for the money you've got, you'll figure the rest out for yourself..."
