I liked my R. It was much lighter than a Z so feels quicker and easier to ride. It does suffer with limited ground clearance though. Depends on your riding.
If you go for an R, avoid 04/05 models. Bad fueling and rough runners. Later models have o2 sensors in the exhaust for better running.

Thanks Ted.
Electrical components are handy to share but I assume then that the chassis are different- cables etc.
There will be no hard core off road - typical gravel tracks in South America, maybe the odd one more difficult but we will not take any risks.
