It’s a good choice mate. They are reliable and are mellow, yet have some power when you give it to them. Best mod would be suspension if you’re coming from a 426

Mellow? Compared to what Moto?

A DRZ can be a balltearer or a soft ride, depending on how you use your right hand! Very forgiving, in that the power is there whenever you want it but never to the point of killing you.

Dont question him ECKS :angry:

[GregMember]

You didnt have any side braces for the saddle bags did you Champo, I am sure I have asked you before?

Ta TB, that’s what I thought, the KLX650 is another example of a good alrounder that some folks have a passion for as well, and i reckoned Honda would’ve been insane to release a highly stressed Hi-Po thumper into the “adventure” market, cause those laddies want Africa on one oil change, not Johannesburg on a engine rebuild.

I always view HP figures cynically, remember the old streetbike Horsepower shootouts in the 90s? my worked GSXR11 won the North coast region for two years running in both top classes with only 152 RWHP on a humid day and a very linear torque curve, yet a stock ZZR was supposed to have 160-170 according to the press statements, yet the old girl annilliated all comers with supposed huge HP outputs, was only bested by the huge $$$ metro turbo & NOS bikes.

Monos are an individual thing POB (point of balance is different for different techniques and riders, low speed I am almost sitting on the rear guard, arms straight, body at right angles to bike, higher speed I am much more forward as I am using power more, standing I am crouched at speed to avoid “quick flip”

BC

Cant speak about Monos mate, but as far as the hp figures go we sometime rush load engines on the dyno to get a hp spike (it will be higher than real hp) as such to comfort a whinging truck driver, if he believes it is higher he thinks it goes better ! :blink:

I wouldnt believe the figures about mine but I have proof, interesting the drop in hp of a current high performance 450s and 250s 4 strokes when they warm up and get hot incredible the loss in hp. People dont related torque to performance enough, plus a bigger four stroke doesnt rev as quickly (any brand) so it may seem as though it isn’t as powerful as we know
