Triumph Tiger 885 or 955? I would fully understand why you would leave the 1050 out

What about a CCM 604? Not much luggage capacity but do have Dakar pedigree (including a certain Mr S Pavey in 1998).

Kawasaki KLV1000? Yes I know it's really a V-Strom

I would have thought the Guzzi Stelvio rather than the Norge?

And What no KTM's? At least one from the 640/950/990 Adventures?

660 Tenere stats

Engine 660 SOHC
Top speed - 120MPH
Weight - 184kg
Tank size 23 litres
Range 250

For some of the parts it will come down to personnal opinion rather than fact, one of the biggest things that adventure riders choose between is offroad capability and on road capability. Like the varadero is far supperior on road than a tenere whereas offroad its the opposite way round.
Good look with this

Nice idea.... Just think how useful the top trumps adventure bike cards would be for those looking to get into adventure bikes or looking swap one.

cheers for all the great suggestions so far, gents. Shit, this might take a lot longer than I thought. i like the seat height idea, butcould be a bit tricky finding the info for all the bikes.
i will keep at it.
