I hear ya.

For me personally, the DRZ has more than enough power... with a carb and pipe those things screw pretty good IMO. It will do highway speeds comfortably, and the handling is a friggin blast in the twisties, not to mention the motard hooliganry.

The other factor is that the KTM's and Husky's (at least the ones that are streetable and don't require a TON of maintenance) are about 2-3 times the cost of the DRZ.

I got my KTM for $5k, it weighs exactly the same as the DRZ and has 20 more hp. But, it is a lot more maintainence, and a lot more finicky. I fix one issue, take it to the track, and another issue pops up. That having been said I wouldn't trade my KTM for a DRZ.

That's pretty much in line with the info I've heard as well... however my DRZ will be street-only which is why it's the perfect choice for me.

I may putt around on it at a track day if I feel like it but other than that, pure street machine.

Ever ride a 'tard on the track? If you haven't I highly recommend trying it at least once. But yeah, they make really good street bikes.

Only once... it was fucking fun

I'm storing my buddy's race tard that we're building up at my garage for the winter and I'll be helping him wrench on it... maybe he'll let me do a race or two on it a weekend

That is, until I grab my own race tard...

really diggin the idea of dumping my 450 for an old nekkid goldwing 1100. could solve my daily/cruiser needs for cheap.

06 gsxr 1k
Rsv mille r
husky 510 or a crf 450 supermotard (if you can do that in cali)
