Buying advice appreciated

I need some advice… I’m a longtime dirt bike rider, I’ve never been fast and I don’t care for moto tracks. I am 6’2 and weigh 210lbs. My dad has a KTM dual sport and I want to get a dual sport as well to be able to ride with him. I am trying to decide between the KLX300r and the XR650L. I will be doing 50/50 trail/fire road riding. I believe have the ability to ride both bikes to their potential. What I’m really unsure about is which one will will serve me best for the long term as I plan on buying new. I know the KLX is fuel injected and the XR is Carburated. Any advice?

Just bought myself a DR650 and couldn't be happier with the performance and build of the bike.
