I loved the idea and all the specs of the new 800Xr (and XrX) when it came out earlier this year, but when I finally got a chance to try one on for size, I didn't like the feel at all. Tallish, top-heavy, and much more massive feeling than I expected for an 800. And I'm a 6 footer, so being short was not the problem. Admittedly, I've never owned an ADV bike, so it might just be I'm not used to that kind of layout, but I was pretty disappointed; I was genuinely interested in buying one.
