I think that is why he bought it...it was dirt cheap compared to the Husky he wanted.

I've never rode one...but I'd like to. They look kick ass and appear to be fun as hell to ride.

Would I buy one? No. Not while it still have the shaft drive. That flat twin in that state of tune may be down a hair on power, but it has so much torque that you can race on 3rd gear. The handling is superb and so is the fuel injection. But that shaft drive just took the fun out of this bike.


Such an awesome bike. Why the shaft drive tho? Same thing with the Vmax...why not put a chain on those bad boys.

And what didn't you like about the shaft drive?

You should take one for a spin... they are a blast. Cornerspeed comes so naturally because of the low weight. And with the steep rake angle and low amount of trail they snap down into the corners really quickly and effortlessly with a light countersteer input.

After doing a lot of track riding my priorities for what I want in a street bike changed quite a bit... I have absolutely zero desire to ride a 130hp supersport crotch rocket at 10% of its limits on the road anymore... I just want something that is fucking fun and nimble, a little hooliganry. The DRZ is perfect. Not to mention great on gas.

I really like the KTM 690 SMC... my buddy has one of those... but they're fuckin 9 grand, so fuck that.
