    A taster on the DRZ

    Well as I have the DRZ I was tempted to see what its like off the beaten track
    Which way is best for trailwings??



    Its all a tad slippy





    All in all DRZ is a great bike on tarmac lanes and B roads, A roads are also nice. On the lanes it feels light enough and no heavier than the XR but on its road S model gearing its a bit clutchy for loose trail acents and decents. Mighty fine havin the magic button though for inevitable stalls with its high gearing
    It certainly doesnt have that marvellous tractor engine of the XR mind, but I rekon it will be a far better dual sporter than the XR

    For 3k, it'll still be yours then

    I'm just jealous of all that nice scenery.

    Keep some of those photos for when you sell the bike.
    The right scenery will help in the sale.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    A potential buyer might wonder why the rear wheel is almost completely hidden in every photo!
