Turn in later on turn one and hug it tighter and you'll be set up better for turn 2 ? .

That looks like a fun track

Its a lot of fun, and the only SM track ive ridden on:ride: I just picked this up so i will be doing some more track days/racing next year.

Your PGP vids look like a lot of fun!

Thanks BTW... I was told the same thing about turn 1 and well.... that extra 50 ft is hard to get my mind wrapped around

Very cool ? be careful as DRZ SM's are the gateway drug to KTM's hehe

I just picked up the rmz and its cold so i havent been to the track with it yet. There is a race in FL in Jan but i dont think ill be able to make it:) With the RMZ being a good 80lbs lighter and at least 15-20hp more than my drz is currently im sure i will love it. Oh and slicks vs DOTs should help.

I so agree My KTM is 80lbs lighter, 15 more hp and is race ready ? 16.5 front wheel, shortened swing arm, cut sub frame, off set triples, head work and the crank has been balanced soooo smoooooth hehe. I am still getting used to the bike and just picked up a second set of wheels to keep some rains on and run practice tires on

To bad you're not out here

You for got to mention "Bad Ass Grannie" in the specs...

nice! This thing had a bunch of stuff on it including a slipper clutch! It has pro taper triples but they arent offset any. Once I ride the bike ill get a feel for what has to change. Too bad its soooo cold. I know your track day was run in the cold and ive run them where the track had ice the night before, but its just not as fun:bonk:

[hershey]

Here's one of mine from 2011, didn't do very well aside from my wicked start:

Oh same here... hell.. we have even raced in Snow flurries hehe Yeah.. mine has the Slipper clutch as well and it makes it soooo nice

Looks like fun... The corners look like it would be easy to blast those damned SportBikes

from all the specs i can find on my rmz it looks like 220lbs dry and stock was 59hp at the crank:banana: My drz in track trim was still just under 300lbs wet and i think i got close to 45hp at the wheel:bonk: For the price of the mods i put into the drz i bought the rmz, what was i thinking ?

Yeah... I think the RMZ would make a better supermoto. The DRZ is 295lbs stock, and not as powerful of engine. In track form, they do really open up though, and they have a good, low seat height. Suggestion: Find a CR500 engine .

59 or 49 stock ??? just asking cause mine has had work and is only 56/57

Cause if thats the case I need to do a lot more work so I can keep up with you ?...... hell... and it's 20 lbs lighter than mine..... looks like it's diet time hehe

[Deadend]

DRZ is detuned for daily use. You cant directly compare it against an SMC/SMR.

a good comparison is a DRZ vs the KLX 250 or the WRX250.

even a Husky 450 -> 650 is not a fair comparison.

Oh I know this... I was asking about his RMZ not DRZ and comparing that to my KTM SMR

Suzuki listed it as 58.5hp which im sure was at the crank. Ive seen it listed as high as 61hp. I would say mine is probably 55-58hp at the wheel. 221lbs dry. in 08 they went to a 5speed tranny and FI which took it up to almost 250lbs. Ill keep my fcr40 and they can have the extra gear and 30lbs ?
