The only was you’ll know for sure is to test ride both. Reviews , and the opinion of others aren’t worth much imho

I mean, I’m talk about opinion, people who ride old model and now ride model 21 inch tyre, how feel and what feel difference between last DL and new. maybe I found something what I’m interesting and I’m look at inside the motorcycle.

I took the new model out, loved it, but went for the pre-reg XT they had in the showroom….. 4 miles on the clock.

£9995. I saved myself a few thousand pounds against the new one.

I had the lower seat to make it a lot easier for me to reach the ground.

After shopping around for my luggage and several other accessories, it still worked out cheaper than a newer model with no accessories.

3170 mile trip to southern Italy, in 10 days. Doing 600 miles on the last day…….fantastic bike.👍 In my opinion of course.😉
