Would have been interested Ross but was still coming back the long way from wanganui street races. Was a few adventure bikes at the Whangamomona Republic Hotel but think most of them were rentals/german tourists.

Went for a quick ride up the gwavas yesterday and it was awsome. They had buldozed a fire brake for about 2ks which I rode back and forwards heaps of times, sliding, wheelieing and grinning like a chesire cat. Could be a good bit to add to the RRRR if there's time!

Hoon, Have you settled on a 250 yet?

DRZ is my first choice if i can get one at the right price. I like the look of the gas gas pampera but have never riden or even seen one in the flesh err i mean metal At least with the DRZ theres heaps of them around so shouldn't be too long to wait till one comes up....I hope!

I think you'll be disapointed in a 250. You could always just strip all the crap off the 690. It's only 20kg heavier with an extra 34 horsepower. If you want a fat, gutless, Suzuki, I'll swap you mine.

I love my crap I'm really after a slow low geared trials bike but with a seat and built some time this century. The 690 is way to highly geared for slow stuff...maybe a 125 might be better?

If that fat susie of yours is so gutless how come your always miles out in front of everyone with camera ready, deck chair spread out and latte in ya hand waiting for the rest of us to show up

Might know of a road legal DRZ250 in Taupo, will check tonight.

Yeah, it actualy does the job surprisingly well....but perhaps not as well as an orange beast....

It's not that fast....I just don't slow down for corners.

Marty, the DRZ250 in Taupo will be for sale in a couple of months if you can possibly bear to wait that long.
