Nigel, your post (and should) will live forever because, though not for everyone, the smaller trailbikes/enduros/dual sports (pick the name that suits you) are perfect overlanding machines for many of us. I also have a F650GSD and often prefer my Suzuki DR200SE for backcountry traveling here in the USA and Canada because of it's lightweight, excellent fuel economy, and simplicity.
The 2 strokes are no longer marketed here any longer (as street legal) as I'm sure you know. I think the Kawasaki KE100 was the last offered. We have a 2000 KE100, a fine machine but the DR200SE is quieter, a bit larger, and gets better fuel economy. I grew up with a 73 Kaw 175 and 78 Yamaha IT175 and my current DR200SE is just a continuation of the tradition.
