    Damn you turn an awful shade of green when discussing Ktm's Green and orange don't go together

    Oh and you can't use the "Honda's are more reliable argument either"

    Hi all, I'm seriously looking at trading my SMX and DRZ on a XR650R. I've owned a couple of XR600's and know them well but have had nothing to do with the 650. What should I look for? Are they as bullet proof as the 600? Claimed power is up 10-12 hp on the 600 (when derestricted)? Any input would be appreciated as long as its constructive.

    Cheers


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    normally you'l here some niggly sound as a warning before something major happens, eighties XRs would be blowing up before any reasonal klms where reached, but the 90s up are primo... you dont see many high klm ones for sale cause no one wants to part with such a wonderful beast plus Honda dont sell them here anymore( tossers )
