thinking about a 2nd DRZ....

[harjp1959]

I got a CRF230 for my son last November. Something nice and tame for his never-rode-a-bike-before, citified butt. It's way too small for him at this point and poorly sprung for his weight (200 lbs).

Was looking at a CRF250X. Whatever I get needs to be plated so that we can ride on forest service roads.

It finally occurred to me to look for a DRZ E. He doesn't like super technical stuff anyway, although the DRZ will go anywhere.

There's an '03 E here in Phoenix with only 20 hours (claims the owner) for only $2500.

Now I just need to sell the damn 230F.

get the E and sell the 230 later.thats how i ended up with a drzsm.loved the sm then bought it then sold my yzf400 a month later

I had a CRF250X before my DRZ. It was easy to plate w/ Baja Designs kit. But I didn't like the bike, all I ever did was shift-shift-shift it. A friend sold his XR400 recently and borrowed a 250X, and he complained that all he did was shift-shift-shift it. Ride one before you buy it, the light weight is sooo sweet, but the motor stinks compared to a DRZ.

Kicker harry.... Kicker. (If you can find one).

There's a very sweet kicker for sale here in Phoenix:

But I need something I can plate. Too bad I don't have the garage space and excess $$$ to just buy this bike. It's a beauty!

Not long ago Eddie mentioned having a couple of left-overs in stock at work.

Don't know if they are still there, but if they are, somebody must have an old

S frame with the necessary paperwork, or just the paperwork.

I thinking more of the electrical system and wire harness on the K. If I bought one, I'd hate to load it down with lights.

OK. And then there's the fact that I don't want to be kicking some damn bike over all the time to start it! ?

Last April, Excel Motorsports had a couple of K's for sale, if I recall correctly.

What do you think of the one for sale in Phoenix. Sweet, huh?

[10guy]

The electrical system of the kicker can handle lights etc. It puts out 150 watts which is a lot compared to other kickstart only bikes.

I'd go for an E though if I were you. Of course thats just because I'm so lazy I don't like to kick anything, lucky for my dogs ?

[NateTheGreat]

1 kick every time.

Even after a low side or cold morning.... my bike has never been too much trouble.
