I have owned a Dominator 650, a XBR 500 and now a XR 400. All were air-cooled, and all have run well on longer cruising spped jaunts.
The only disadvantage with the XR is the smaller oil capacity and hence the very frequent oil changes the factory manual requires of it's XR owners.
If you are happy about that and about the "faster then normal" wear on your posterior courtesy of the XR Geneva-convention-infringing saddle, then you should be fine...
