-consider they are in decent condition

1. which bike is better for reliablility?
2. how much faster is the 600 than the 250?
3. What are the road top speeds of each, about?
4. Which one would you get and why?

Depends what you're using it for. If I was going to be using it offroad in any meaningful way, I'd get the DR. If I was going to be entirely on the road, I'd get the XL.

In terms of reliability, I'd get the XL because it's a Honda.
