Saw this on trademe and I can't quite work it out, anybody seen one like this before ? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=244701202
Rear rack is the same as the one on the 750, tank and lower fairing look like they came from an 800 and the light and screen "look" like they've been bastardized from something else.

sort of looks like Dr 650.... couldnt get all the pic open.... pipe is no standard. and that tank and headlight.....
not sure

Saw something like this at DAS here in Chch a while back and did a double take.It appears to be a DR650RS,scroll down this page to find it....http://dr650.zenseeker.net/DR650History.htm

The clutch is an easy one to sort.

If you are good with electrical projects, it may be a good buy.

Ummmmmm NO ! I have enough broken bikes to sort out already, and I don't have the space for it

[Eddieb]

Have seen them overseas, as others have commented I think they are a DR650 RS. I suspect an earlier interpretation of the XF650 Freewind concept?

I also suspect the front wheel is 19" not 21" but don't quote me on that.

DR 650 RS or RSE

Twin pipe, 21" front.
That's what they looked like back in the early '90s.

Yeah, followed Perils link and it's all there.......

Gilera looks good, but the DR just looks odd

[dino3310]

yep DR650rs has been the odd one on terdme over the last couple of years, i havent seen a descent one theyve all been a bit shitty. But they sure have the 800 traits, the front end RS but like you say jatz the tank, seat and rack got 800 all over it. Suzuki just couldnt get it right after the first 800:lol:

[NordieBoy]

And the Gilera was used seriously too...

Hey!
They both came out in 1990 :D

[dino3310]

that would explain the RS look.
i prefer the look of that Gliera RC600C over the DR RS, that rally version looks awesome. funny how all the Dakar bikes look the same but still got there own kinda cool

[NordieBoy]

74hp at the crank.
170kg dry.
1990-1993.

[kevfromcoro]

Is threre some tie up with gilera and suzuki?

they are european arent they.

[cooneyr]

I want one...

Is that a tool box built into the side stand - weird :wacko:

Also why did the XTZ and the RC have LHS zorsts and RHS stands?

Cheers R

No tie up.
They used the Suzi motor in the prototype ss600 sportsbike before they developed their own engine. Then they bought Aprilia and that killed all the cool bikes...
