Although I really, really like my 2010, DL650X, which I've had since new, and although it's done exactly what's been asked of it, I've never been impressed with the finish...regardless of how well it's been looked after. Never liked the Versys 650...till the new revamp! Much, much better, with great reviews, and in its (colour matched pannier/top box) "tourer" guise, pretty well priced. I think this'll give Suzuki a run for its money!!
