Also add the BMW G650 series and G800 series to the list.

Steady on M9, they aren't that bad :)
My guess is this was an older model. Not much has changed but the newer ones (2008 and 2009) do have some fairings and a 21 litre tank. I get 350 km before reserve and would get over 400 km from a tank. I am constantly waiting for my mates to fill up their G650 X's! A long range tanks is only $1k extra. I two up on the KLR as well. Road only though....
If you are leaning to a dual sport just research on the net. Plenty of comparisons out there.
