    Cool bike, had to make a decision last year and took Sertao instead, amazing bike so far.

    That HP2 Enduro.....saddest BMW bike they made...sad in that fact that they made so few of them. I mean saying "few" is also an overstatement....the number they made almost seems like an accident. And sooo pretty

    It was a unique bike to behold bit for the money today there are better options available since that segment has really exploded.

    Just my opinion but I think overal best dual sport is still DR650, you can make it suit your needs it best. If need more power then XR650R but it needs some mods like e-start, but not mandatory. Also KLR is good pick or XR650L.

    Thanks for that input. I have owned and reviewed all the bikes you mentioned and agree with you, but the xr has a seat height of 39 inches which was simply too tall for me. They all need a bigger tank upgrade save for the klr but the klr is too heavy.

    @@pegasusmotorcycletours I love DR, but its too low for me stock. XR650R is perfect, but lacking e-start in hard situations can turn it horrible situations. Also exotic bikes like xr650r and that bmw can be problem compared to dr and klr. Gen 1 klr is a bit lighter but still heavy.

    Out of interest, how would you rate the G650X smaller brother, the G450X, let say rate it for the same use case as the 650's? I remember back in the day quite a number of people picked the DRZ400 for touring over the DR650 cause of the better suspension. What I didn't like of the DRZ was the loud exhaust from factory.

    I don't personally have experience with the 450x but I did own and have reviewed the drz. You can find that review in the playlist where I answer if it's a serious ADV touring bike. Highway performance is important too.
