Came across a great video regarding these two bikes. I personally have owned several of each of these bikes over the years, and can attest that both of these machines are true Dual Sports but with different specialties. I started with a DR650 (because at the time I thought is was small) then continued to progress beyond what I thought the DR could do. Either bike is a great way to enter our sport.
Here is the video I was talking about
And a few pictures of my trusty DRs from years past
My DR650 in Baja Trim January 2002

My DR-400 Harrison 2007
and look I am working on a route sheet
