Honestly it would probably be the right price more than the right bike since the whole segment seems mostly capable.
If the Himalayan came in a 650 that might be the ticket to start price wise. Any if the DRs seem to really hold their value.
I like the KLR but not sure how good they are for the long highways since I have to go a few hours in either direction just to get away from the city/suburbs. So im almost forced to have a road bias in whichever I end up with.
A GS800, T7, or Triumph tiger 800 is probably more of what I need for the longer touring between campsites. Any of the big boys like the Africa twin or GS1200 would prob be out of my price range for a long time even on the used market.
I wanna do the Dalton up to darkhorse real bad, gotta get to Anchorage from NY first though so lots of highway lol.
