Help us.  Wifey got the urge to have her own scoot.  One for some long distance touring.  And then I obviously also need one :biggrin:. 

We looking for something in the region of a 650 and smaller.  Maybe the 650 for me and then something smaller for the wife.  She previously had a XR250 which was just fine for her. 

The thinking is for some long distance touring to Nam, Botswana and the like, so it must be reliable, low maintenance and should be able to carry some weight (luggage). 

My thoughts is a XR650 for me as I will carry most of the equipment and then a 250 Rally for the wife. 

Any other thoughts would be helpful.  What else is in the market?
