    Soon to be for sale

    2006 DRZ400. Road legal. Full hp version. Just under 11000km (mostly commuting and adventure stuff). Runs real well. Quite a few extras.

    I'll be cleaning it up and posting on TM in the next few days.

    DRZ brake levers leave nice holes, snuck in next to my armour and now have some nice stitches!

    watcha getting instead Bart?
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    I'd guess he's upgrading to a DR650 to experience the rush of a big bore bike

    You sure it's not a big boring bike. I'm struggling to get excited about the 650.

    I spent all day pulling the 400 to bits and cleaning it. All day I looked over at the 650, and I dunno. I guess it'll grow on me.

    Suspension and FCR39 or TM40 and it'll be a different beast.

    Edit:.... except yours Nordie, that is anything but bland, but FFS you musta put some hours into it

    Ok, bland it will be. I'm going to turn it into a 'stealth bomber'...........except, it's not very stealthy with that pipe.
