For me the XT6 wins hands down every time!
Where exactly are you Gangstabber? You're profile is blank.
A XT6E will tick ALL the boxes for a tarmac/offroad mixed adventure. A smaller bike will do the job but not comfortably. Anything under 250cc will protest under heavy load.
Here in the UK it's still possible to find mint low milage XT6's for about £1,500 ($2,000).
It's quite simply a true RTW biking legend - Not expensive, Made well, light, slim, frugal (fuel), good design, simple, robust, reliable, Durable etc....
"Bang for Buck" you simply won't beat a XT600 (any version).
