I have three bikes currently: cb1100, dr650 and the RE int650. Together, they are very satisfying to own. There's no way I'd buy a fourth, but before trading my KLR650 for the Suzuki DR, I considered a slightly larger adventure / dual purpose bike:

But...$$$...and I didn't want an expensive adventure bike because if one is overly concerned about keeeping it nice--and I would be if I paid 12-16K for a bike--then better something cheaper to explore on. Plus the electronic features make my head spin.
If I didn't own either of my current classic-genre of bikes, I'd start with a 2023 Kawasaki W800.
Fun to think about.
