a bike that will have been, and will continue to be dropped
This was easier for me to swallow when I bought the DR for £1.5k... and more difficult after spending money on it.... and now very very difficult seeing the cost to replace it!
I've struggled with the "get a modern, lightweight, entry-level enduro, save weight" argument now that the DR is valued so much higher than it should be. I would sorely love something that is easier to pick up. But then, every time I climb on the bloody thing I remember why it was such a prized choice.

I too really struggled with this when realising an XR400 isn't a £1.5k bike anymore. In the end felt more comfortable buying a newer bike that was coming down in price than something 20+ that was almost the same value.
I think being a bike that will have been, and will continue to be dropped etc makes this all even harder to process. My CRF450L is brilliant, but also cost 6.5k so yeah it's a hard one.
