XR600E. Rode one all over south America. It's a budget bike. Very simple.. Will do ANYTHING.. A bit lighter than the DR so I believe . More 'trail' than the DR650. However it's got crap budget suspension and it doesn't like going over 65mph.
DR650SE (post 96). Never owned one but travelled with people with them.. Faster on the road and engine has a balancer making it smoother.. A bit heavier though. Also a great bike.
I think I'd rather have the DR650SE if those were the only choice.
Given the choice in that 'range' though...
I'd have a Honda XR650L....
Oh, I do......
