Those were the best years IMO. Before they banned the twins. Imagine the sound of a field full of ktm 950 twins

I'm not too sure if all would agree, but that's what we have done. I have the ZRX1200 for the bike stuff and when I need to get some big miles in fast or ride with mates on their beasts. Bought it a few years ago so the current value makes no sense to sell. The DR is for the local commute, play on the beach or head to the hills, if I ever do

My wife runs a Cagiva Raptor and DR200 as she is not the largest woman built. Those 2 work well for her as she can easily keep up with us on the highway rides and the DR200 is more than capable up to 115 kph and on the gravel it excels.

The 2 bike plan has caught on with one of my sons and he enjoyed my DR650 so much he grabbed one to go with his road bike.

The current value of most second hand bikes is ridiculously low so unless you're selling and then buying in the same market, generally you are loosing money so why bother.

Just my thoughts, but more than 2 is just plain greedy.

Makes me feel like wheeling the RD03 out and going for a fang ....but no,its pissing down.
I had the OE muffler on for a while but it sounded as though I'd stolen its mojo or put a gag on it so put a much louder one on ,doesnt go any better but its good to hear its voice yelling at me to give it heaps !
That Honda rider's a skinny little bugger isnt he
