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...
