So I've been heavily favoring a NEW DRZ as my next bike, but I may have reached an epiphany on that: I don't like carburetors, and I'm not sure, realistically, that I can justify investing $8,500 in a NEW machine that still uses one... So I've been thinking that if no manufacturer debuts something that meets all my requirements (EFI, 350+, reliable/low stress/low maintenance motor, relatively light weight, relatively inexpensive, etc.) within the next year or so, I might go for an older Honda XR650L for around $2,500. The older XRL's are getting more and more affordable. So are the older DR 650's, but they have problems that I wouldn't want to deal with (I'd only buy a later-model DR650). Basically, an XRL that I would deem suitable for my needs should be obtainable for a good thousand dollars less than a suitable DR650 or DRZ.
Anyway, these are merely the ramblings of a delusional fool. Pay me no heed
