I researched for 1.5 years while owing a Honda XR150L as my daily commuter and kept coming back to the DR650. I feel i made the best choice for my application (daily commuting, lite weekend trails) and it can handle much more. So much down low torque and you can actually enjoy it at lower rpms and speeds. I have also been interested in the Tenere 600, and another bike thats rare is the KLX650. They only made it for a few years in the 90s, check it out.

@TheMotorcycleMessenger thanks for sharing your experience. I have a question? How is your DR650 in the cold weather? Here in the winter, the temperature goes down to 25 F° and 32 F° , and I keep commuting with my Super Tenere, it always start and the traction control keeps me safe when there's black ice. I just don't know how a bike without ABS and TC is safe to keep commuting all the year around.

@@ADVDad-hw9ls I have a stock setup and it has done well so far, this will be my first winter having it. I plan to go up one size on the main jet, change the needle position, and turn up the idle some. You should have no issues if you do that, or already have that set up from the previous owner. I can't remember if he said in the video but if he put an aftermarket exhaust and he most likely already went up on the jet size. I hear most people have the best results from changing the position on the needle. I will say that I had a close call one time and had the back wheel lock up so most definitely be very careful.

@TheMotorcycleMessenger good to know. It would be a great addition to the garage for sure. They look great, and I have seen so many positive reviews about this amazing machine. Thanks again

@@ADVDad-hw9ls arguably the most well rounded dual sport machine out there. Huge aftermarket, many directions to go whether you setup for commuting, adventuring, supermoto, trail, Enduro, etc. simple, reliable, easy to work on. Tried and true, getting up to 100k with minimal maintenance and repairs from proof from other rider reviews. Prob. The best RTW base for a build. Take care, and ride safe.

I would let a thumbs up, but lately I became a thumbs up snob. Oh, go on, then.

Look I have been riding fast bikes since the 1970s, road, enduro and touring around the world owning and hiring. Yes I've crossed the Himmalayas on a Royal Enfield. I love an Enduro, my Suzuki PE175 was a sex toy, Kawasaki 300R a Babe. However, to go touring onroad offroad two up honestly you need a bit more. A Honda Transalp does the job superbly but does not set you afire. Buy one, it will look after you. What will? I went touring yet again in Turkey superb on road off-road. Hired a Yamaha 660. OK it is the single cylinder 5 Valve watercooled single. Absolutely brilliant. To be honest it is a road bike, like my VFR Hondas, silky smooth and the wife on the back approved. BUT it could be a BAAAD boy on a rough road.

@peterturnham5134 Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My wife she doesn't even approve the Yamaha super tenere 1200 😆 She wants me to get the honda goldwing 😆 My experience with big adv bikes, they are super smooth in high speeds. The power feels amazing, specifically in the interstate here in the US. You can be fully loaded and have a passenger and still pass at 130 or 140 km/h. On gravel and soft dirt are okay, but they are not very fun of technical off-road.
