I got F800gs.

Bought 1190. So like a F800 with more power

F800GS. I suppose they focus on new bikes. Seeing as my AT is my all round favourite, and in the same class, its not far off

I got the Tiger 800XC. Close enough to a F800GS...

Don't think so, I got the KTM 640. Actually owned one for a while.

No, scooter with side wheels was the right answer

Me too, and I also ride a X-Challenge.
Close enough.
Before choosing the XC I did my own comparison between various DS bikes. Factors I considered which weren't in this tool were:
- fuel range
- EFI vs carb
- ABS (though not many people would agree with me)
- happy button (too lazy to kick)
- brakes (ços I don't like old bikes with drums)
- weight
New bikes are (I think) all EFI and disk brake, so those can be ignored. Fuel range, happy button and weight remain kinda important though
