this is a good deal right?

I mean, seems like a good deal.. lots of fruit, good year, good k's. I've been watching it for a while, i'm sure he was selling it last listing for 9ksih..

*Some* DR650s had an issue with third gear. Ask the vendor if there are any noises, whining, etc from the gearbox

I reakon it'd be a hoot and comes with the old rims for when you want to get off the seal.

And you'd be able to blast past those pesky KLR riders while grinning like a madman and laughing hysterically into your helmet

[NordieBoy]

Only issue with that one is it's right hand drive.

Add a braided front brake line and it'd be sweet.

Catch there is having to unlace the motard rims and lace the stockers up...

It would be if you had to do that

Do you want to buy it ? It's been sitting in the shed without much use since I got the DR.
Bugger about the broken bone. When will it get done ?

Thanks Phil - yes I do covet your R80GS as a well sorted machine but right now don't have the inclination / energy to sell either my R1150GS or the DR

As to the operation to fix the collar bone - I'm guessing it may happen in the next month/ 6 weeks followed by a 3 month recuperation - I should be ready for the 2013 Dusty Butt about then - have considered giving up on ADV riding and getting a scrambler or some such cruiser given my advancing years

Feels like iv'e had it for ever and a bit bored with it. For the sort of off roady type adv riding were doing the DR is better. I like building projects and ive done all sorts to it. Rebuilt pretty much everything.!! I had thought of doing a full on long travel monolever project but i dont know whether I would want to use mine as a donor. May be time for something different.

Time to swap it for an XR project

Figure I'll just keep going as I am for now - see how the body feels after the operation
