Was fun in the tight stuff....but you're a cripple by the time you get to the fun stuff..........

Rode it about 90 miles ......back, butt and legs are trashed today............torture rack, and slow.....

I LOVE the position of my DRZ... compared to the RR... it's relaxed and the seat is better than the RR's for riding in straight lines for long periods of time.

I rode for 2.5 hrs on the DRZ today stopping only to fuel up. felt better than I would riding the RR for 2.5 hrs.

I was cold as hell... as it was 56 here today... but LOVED IT.

The DRZ is defiantly not a fast bike... but I like it's pace...


Only bike I've ridden I didn't like was Amorok's can't remember what it is.. but fuck I hated that thing.

Seats that are only 6 inches wide are comfortable?

better than the RR's seat... which is 1" THICK. after about 3miles you can feel the ribs of the plastic framing... THAT sucks especially as they're perfectly aligned with the bones in my scrawny ass!


But to be completely honest... I rode for 2.5 hrs and never once thought about the seat other than to note it was much more comfortable than the RR's.

the width didn't bug me too much... as my ass is skinny... so it wasn't like the damn thing was wedge'n up my crack...

I could easily do any of my previous trips again on this bike... even the 5000 mile Indy trip last year... (probably wouldn't loop it either )

Yea, I liked my DRZ as well but I only used it for trail riding, never as a street bike.

I posted a pic when Nick got his... I've only owned one Honda and it was a late 70s model... I've only had one Kawasaki and it was an IT-175 enduro... Otherwise, I've owned about 15 bikes from Yamaha and Suzuki so nyahh!!!!

Eh, I have a scrawny ass too, but I prefer hard seats like that.

The problem with soft seats (like most Suzukis) is that they allow your butt bones to sink down, which puts more pressure on what's in between (your taint/prostate).

well on a sport bike I'd agree... especially when your riding agressively...

but the DRZ's seat isn't really SOFT... it's hard actually... but there's no plastic ribbing to poke me in the arse
