 Hey Neil great topic.
Out of your 2 choices I would say the DRZ is better suited to a trip. easier to work on and a better all rounder. There are loads available on biketrader.
The WR is a good bike but more enduro focused and more likely to have been raced.
Try contacting some of the trail tour companies both UK and Europe as you may be able to score a good deal buying up there old stock.
There is loads of info on the drz other bikes to consider would be Honda XR 400 (not so great on road). Yam XT 600 (heavier but bulletproof). Yam TTR 250 is also a great bike but not as easy to come by as most owners know the secret.
whatever you decide on keep us all posted as I am looking forward to reading of your great adventure.
