not a dirty rider but I have been sumo'ed

[R6JUNKIE]

picking up my 97 dr650 converted motard next sat.
this is the first I will ever been on a bike like this. sounds like a blast

Sweet! I haven't ridden one either, but everyone I know who gets one doesn't want to ride their sportbike anymore afterwords.

Nice bet it will be a blast to ride.

[R6JUNKIE]

actually I been tired of riding and wanted something different. I kinda gave up street for the track and now I havent even been doing that. maybe this is the new stuff I needed

"JUNK"..............I loved my nine.......buttttttttt no lie in all the scooters the tards are a blast........I stick the same turns faster....with less machine wieght.....which gives me a more control and confidence stature with all the deers and pea-gravels we have...

I was set on a ZX10.......but lately if you dont do track days,sport riding is a challenge
between the cops agrivating you,too pushing it too far because you can....and plainly the lack of roads your stuck too..

I wanna maybe later move to a Triumph tiger or maybe a KTM duke

trust me you'll love the bike..........and if your like me and do short quick runs.....you'll pass the sportbike by in the garage and mount the tard...

plus the NINJA caused family issues when riding the kids...being my wife was not a bike person......now she's fine with it and my daughter is my new co-pilot.....she loves to ride with me on KLR and we have found a bond from it this summer.

NOW WE MUST MEET UP JUNKIE!!!

You can have so much fun without going that fast. Sliding around corners and jumping speed bumps at lower speeds can be a blast and when the roads get real curvy and tight then few sportbikes can keep up. I would rather do the dragon on a tard than just about anything else.

Like I said I love my ZX9.....and I still love the feel of sportbikes and the inline kick at 6k's......I just dont have the cash or close tracks to do track dayz......and I think that is you best feel area for a sportbike......I do have alota great roads here but I have to admit I also squeezed thru some close calls with the animal problems and idiot cagers and little punks who have made such a bad immage of crotch rocketers!

hell now the cops come up to me and say cool dual sport...lol

tracks days would be so awesome and if I ever can I will......but what the motard or dualer offers is simplicity......light....low end grumble....agility...gas mileage....cheaper maintenance.

but thats my 2$

JUNK.....I just did some mods to mine that totally made the bike even more enjoyable.........shimed the needle ,drilled the slide,air box mod and a supertrapp that just makes my toes curl from the deep uggh sound she purrs now...

join a DR zuki forum and find out what you can squeeze outa that big bore.....I did and had great help from people who'd done it all....and plus like the KLR the DR has probably alota parts available out there OEM and used and aftermarket..

[R6JUNKIE]

mine has a super trapp I hope it sounds good. It would be great out and take a ride with ya greenie, it's hard for me to get time to even ride. that is why the wife cant believe I went and bought another bike. All my rides are just around the house and theres alot of roads that are begging for some motard action.

those tires dong look to be good for dirty riding.
