You should take one for a spin... they are a blast. Cornerspeed comes so naturally because of the low weight. And with the steep rake angle and low amount of trail they snap down into the corners really quickly and effortlessly with a light countersteer input.
After doing a lot of track riding my priorities for what I want in a street bike changed quite a bit... I have absolutely zero desire to ride a 130hp supersport crotch rocket at 10% of its limits on the road anymore... I just want something that is fucking fun and nimble, a little hooliganry. The DRZ is perfect. Not to mention great on gas.
I really like the KTM 690 SMC... my buddy has one of those... but they're fuckin 9 grand, so fuck that.
