I love my XT600, and I have done all the mods to make it great. It is strong and fun to ride and carries anything I want. However the DR is a great bike too, and I want one next for this reason and this reason only. You cant get XT's new anymore. If you buy an XT you are gonna have to repair it because they are all years old and have done lots of miles. And getting aftermarket products, like luggage racks etc is harder(I'm not saying it cant be done, but your options are reduced) The DR(especially here in OZ) has loads of current aftermarket stuff, and they easy to come by. When my XT finally gives up I wanna break it down and rebuild it beautiful like they do in Greece. But I'll get a DR for everyday riding. My 2 cents.
