I'm currently considering a few used bikes like the Versys 300 and NC700X. I'm also considering the Himalayan 450 and CFM 450MT.Unfortunately being new models it will be years before I can get them for $2000 off like the Adventura. The KLR650 is a bit too dirt focused for me. Thanks for your advice.
I think you're in the right spot then. The only other thing I could think would be a used versys or vstrom. New is always nice though!
