Which brings me onto the vstrom 650 argument.. will stock suspenion be able to comfortably hand 2 up plus luggage? I reckon most riding still will be 2 up no load or single, but as with my Scotland hol next month, I'm meering up with my girl for a few days 2 up riding...
other options? TDM? surely not capable enough for even dirt/gravel roads? power would be spot on mind..

Well, take a look at Pecha72's posts about his DL650 performance while getting to Oz.
Now a well-proven bike, after years on the market without modification (but is it due to get some?).
Yam: reported to be bringing out a Super Tenere in 2009, with a 1200cc engine to compete with the Beemers. I guess this will replace the TDM.
F800GS: the dark horse is the new twin cyl F650GS.
