I would say the Tenere is a good option as well although slightly less good on the trails as it's heavier and there are more bits to break.
BMW X-country, X-challenge and the new 650 GS are also worth a look.

Yes, the G650GS is an interesting bike. Good, competitive pricing by BMW now that they have re-introduced it "because of demand" after just a few years of not being available as a new bike.
They have also just brought back the "Dakar" version of this single cyl, but it is now called a "Sertao", or something like that!!
