Hi
Thanks for your info. I'm torn between the XR650R and the NX650. I'm looking to spend about £3000 and I think I'd be lucky to find a low mileage XR650L for that price. That would be the ideal choice.
The XR650R sounds great, but the water cooling, more highly strung engine, weaker chassis(?), and lack of available pannier racks all make it less suitable than the NX650 for a long on & off road trip through Africa and the Middle East.
The NX650 sounds adequate for the task - I'm not planning to do any serious off-roading. A low mileage Dominator sounds like the best choice, unless of course I find an XR650L.
Cheers
Dan
