Sounds like there's always a compromise with dual sports but the lack of service intervals and road manners of the DRZ make it sounds great. I look forward to many impromptu dirt naps!

I would certainly opt for a DRZ if there was one available in good nick. @skinny got a real special one at a great price. But then, if you do find a 450 at a golden price, go for it. Just crazy unlikely.
Not sure I totally trust documented kerb weights. It can depend on the bike geometry and weight distribution just how difficult it is to move. Just like a road bike. I hate even looking at dad’s Interceptor but the weight isn’t much different to my XJ. Similarly I prefer moving the DR350 to the CRF.
Also, don’t ever ride a dual sport on the motorway, even with road tyres. It suuuuucks.

Which is why I have the drz, so I can ride to/from places at 110kph. Plus service intervals. Just saying that picking up 110kg can be difficult when unstable and slippy. Its not like picking up a hike on tarmac.
