For a while I looked at that and thought it was like a gnome with it's mouth open. Or a tree that fell and looked like a gnome.

these are 4 strokes, I haven't ridden the DRZ400 but have ridden the 250's from Kawi and Yamaha. not enough power on the street from my test rides anyway. but then again, I ride an 06 ZX10R and there aren't that many bikes that impress me for grunt.

So you're leaving it dual sport? Interesting.

I'll be getting a DRZ for the street in a couple months. Right now my priorities are elsewhere...

Yeah new challenge and a way to improve my riding that I don't want to pay for at the track and too stupid to do it on street.

Plus dirt in this area is fuckin fantastic

[Amber Lamps]

Yea I had an '02 DRZ400E,I was getting electric start motherfucker! Of course I modded the piss out of it to make it more "dirt worthy" Here's a couple crappy pics,my good pics went down with my hard drive crash last year....

BMW has started releasing bikes in low frames. I have a 27 inch inseam and flat foot my GS.

See I would enjoy a Motard but I have discovered literally hundreds of miles of county roads and fire trails here in teh Ozarks that I am dying to see. They lead to some real dramatic and awesome scenery, but a motard wouldn't have the range or carrying capacity I would. I would also commute on the thing as my Ninja hates 30 mph city traffic...

Touratech has tank conversions for the 800 & 650 (twin) that will increase the fuel capacity to 9.5 gallons. It is not on their website yet but it is in their catalog.
