Help and advice needed please. Ex Tenere owner, so I know that bike. Sold it because - to me, maybe not you - it had just a tad too little power and given my general 90/10 on road/light off road, was maybe not different enough from my V Strom thou (yes, I hear the thunderous shouts 'total different animal'). However, my Strom, as much as I rate it as a long-distance hauler, is a handful off-road, even in the places my modest skills take it (picture slightly greasy H.U. meeting camping field). It's also a little heavy on fuel on long tours.

So I bought me a KLE650 Versys, thinking it might be a better compromise. My questions are about that and the XTR:
- they share the same tyre size on 17 inch rims. has anyone fitted tyres to their XTR with a better off-road bias? (or indeed, a Versys if they've had one)
- anyone with experience of riding both the XTR and the Versys? What's your viw on them, given what I've said about my riding needs with this type of bike.
- I wonder if the Versys is the better road bike, but the XTR the better light trailing?

All views and advice greatly appreciated.
