It's a slap in the face to the gas gauge that tells me I'm running on vapors at 190 miles.
I sure would hope that a 500-lb bike had a big fuel tank

Hydro clutch. Clutch to start. Choke on a fucking FI bike. Body work is ugly.

My Daytona 675 was hot as hell and the engine whine below 5k was highly annoying.

I just don't like the engine of my DRZ. It's a thumper and I've just realized I'd much prefer a smooth V-Twin.

The tranny can be a little clunky but it just reminds me that I just shifted.

There are R/R problems with the 5th and 6th gens. Knock on wood I havnt had them.

Wish she had better looking wheels.
