I never considered a XR. I'm not a fan of any Adventure styled Sport Touring bikes.
Me neither. At 70 years old and very arthritic, I realized I am much better off with a bit of forward lean, and a seat I can move around on. In other words, traditional ST ergos. I thought the upright riding position would be best, but definitely not for me. It made me slower and more tentative in the twisties, and irritated my sciatica.. And visually, I prefer the lower look .
