Wouldn't mind a DR650 either, converting one of those to an SM would be lots of fun with all that lazy low end torque. And super simple maintenance on all three of those bikes will be nice compared to a compact high performance 4 banger

I like all of the dual sport bikes for the most part. It's funny when you really get down to it any of them would be awesome - but each has small positive and negative traits, but hard to go wrong with any of them. The DRZ is very cool - it will probably be between a DRZ and WR.
Those DR650s turned into supermotos are really cool, there are a few videos on youtube of some builds.
Too many excellent bikes out there - I'd love to own like 40-50 bikes in a barn!

(in blue) Honestly the best bike combination that money can buy (imo) is a dual sport/supermoto and a sport bike/something that'll comfortably take a passenger out on a ride and be fun on a track or something that feels and looks amazing like a triumph street triple.

That's what I'm trying to accomplish - have the faster SS bike and a more utilitarian bike to commute with and have some different kinds of fun, like off-roading, that the zx6r can't do.
