Just what my BMW k100 race bike project needs.

Got one of those Daytona brand dampers on the Emporium wall if you're interested.
Won't mount to the DR400F and the TT350 has a GPR on it.

Oh yeah and a price. Thanks.

I'll have a measure up this evening and let you know,(sounds a bit seedy!) but it looks promising.
Any idea on $$$?

Thanks again Dino, mine for $23.50 plus postage.

My DR is still for sale if anyones interested. Make me an offer, it has got to go asap so I can piss off over seas.
I listed everything it has in a post a couple of months back but off the top of my head:

K7 model
17000ks
Trailtech Vapor Speedo + original
Pro Taper bars
BarkBusters
B&B bash plate
DG exhaust + original

And probably a couple more bits I have forgotten about, there isn't a better one on trademe right now and I'm in a hurry to sell so I am willing to take any reasonable offer.

I have a newbie question to ask. If there is a thread on this elsewhere, please direct me to it.

I have been away from riding for a good dozen years now and would like to take up adventure riding in the next 12 months. I intend to ride metal roads and tracks, forest tracks and some farm land. Niot looking to get into bike mud. I have done that in the 4x4 previously.
I have never been a dirt bike rider, all my riding having been on the road. The last set of 2 wheels that I owned was a 95 1200 Triumph Trophy.

The Adventure bike that keeps catching my eye as you may have guessed is the DR650.

So my question to the worldly is this, as a complete novice would a DR650 be to much bike or would the DRZ400 be a better option.
