have a mate who's looking round for a DRZ400 so will let him know...price looks good but he's in North Island which means he'd have come south to pick her up and that would mean I'd have to go with him and that would mean 1-2 weeks off work to do some exploring and that would mean getting permission from my long suffering wife and that would mean behaving myself for at least a week or two and that would mean less bike riding and that would mean more stress and that would mean possible ill health and that would mean no travelling and that would mean no south Island trip and that would mean I couldn't escort me mate down to pick her up and that would mean he gets a trip and I don't and that's just not acceptable so that means he'll just have to find his own great deal on a DRZ

I hope so, three shouts DRZ and you ARE out ! Orange might be looking good from then

Actually DRZ forks are becoming rather fashionable for conversion by Airhead riders. That must mean that they are rather more unfashionable amongst everyone else

I had mine reupholstered by a local guy in Richmond, he widened it and added some memory foam, made a massive difference in comfort over longer rides, all for $75!

As far as your Safari tank goes, keep an eye what comes up for sale second hand, I managed to get one, though there are other options to look at like spare tanks etc.
