515 real life questions??

This may be sacrilege, but what about the XR650r. I've owned 3 over the years and they are great bikes. You can run one for hours on the road and get the job done in the woods although it is no 2 stroke. It is reliable, sorted, cheap, with a huge aftermarket support network.

I sold one a couple of months ago and really miss it. I want to buy another.

I've road a couple xr650's and except for they are heavy and quite large they are neat bikes.. But for the overall size of them,, they feel huge. Not a fan of the old design.. if they made a truely new version I'd be interested.. Also I thought they stopped production of them?
