Its a low-miles 03 DRZ400s with a Motostrano Quick-change kit (Excel wheels, Conti tires, wave rotor, caliper extension, braided lines, tail kit and a couple other bits. The bike has 2500 miles on it, the kit about 100 (the tires aren't even scrubbed in).
Quick turn-in, ridiculous lean angles and great for the tight and twisties.... for the freeway, not so much. Nervous handling and a tendency to get blown around by truck; but it is great for the torn-up sections of the beltway where the pavement gobbler scrapes up mile-long stretches of chunking, patched pavement and leaves dusty, sandy wiggly lined pavement with abrupt seams and 2 inch high drops and seams; there the long travel suspension excels.
