I am seriously thinking of getting myself a new XR650 to first of all commute but also do the occasional long distance trips. I had two KLR's in the past and although they are up to doing the job, I want a change of scenery and quite fancy the XR.  :)

Question: what are the general experience on using the XR for long distance and commuting (apart from the small tank top be replaced as a matter of priority), any comments, suggestions from you more experienced riders? What would a good traveling speed be on long trips as in 300km plus? Thanks.
