I get bored on the big bikes at least you have to shift on the little bikes. Don't get me wrong I loved the torque of the RC51 but I could break every US speed limit in first gear If I hit second hard I was going to jail not traffic court.

To be honest the DRZ400SM is a fun bike and its got the least power in my garage cept for the 150R. Nothing like having a bike that bonces when it hits the ground and slides into every corner with out worry of a high side. I can't ride a 600 on the street anymore cause I have learned to slide the tard and ride like a total loon on a 600 now. I got to where I can turn a 180 in one lane (1/2 the road) all on the rear brake. My friend about shit when I did it in his drive way on my SV650. Dirtbike bars on a street bike.......BAD good but BAD!
