Is the CRF250L a better adventure riding bike than the legendary XR650L?

For decades, the Honda XR650L has been a staple of the dual sport world, providing simplicity, reliability and off road capability. While currently lacking the power, the CRF250L is a more modern design with fuel injection, is lighter and better geared for the majority of riders to handle. This often sparks debates among adventure riders regarding the trade off between power and weight, old school simplicity vs modern technology and which bike is better suited to long distance adventure riding. Riders discussing these two bikes do so considering factors such as fuel range, comfort, parts availability in a remote area, and just overall durability.

I've ridden both and for adventure riding, the XR650L any day. That thumper engine is a bulletproof engine and it has enough power to get you and your gear through anything. Comparatively, the CRF250L feels underpowered, especially if you’ve taken it off on a fully loaded shopping trip to the store and back.
