Motard questions

My biggest issue is the engine. I don't know if it's just my DRZ, but the thumper engine is a drama queen. It makes a lot of noise and vibration but just doesn't make much actual power and has tons of engine braking. An Aprilia 5.5 twin sounds about perfect to me but the reliability is just not there AFAIK. It'll be a HUGE change from your CBR900.
