Yeh, I had 650 for 2 years, took it to the Alps.
It was a good bike, economical, massive tank range and enough power to get the job done.
I only sold it really because I had bought my 990 Superduke and that really showed how soft & under-powered the dl650 was, so I replaced it with an 1190 Adventure.

One day I might have another DL650, as I'm starting to want something smaller again for slower rides (but the 1190 is a keeper).
Never been too interested in the DL1000 as most think the 650 was the better bike.
1190 Adventure S, 990 Superduke, DRZ-400E - all the bases covered.
