The DR650 thread

[warewolf]

I highly recommend not to go two up on a dr650............your butt will love you for it.......

Is that due to being 'thanked' by your big friend.........

The little mudflap really works well.
No crap up the back of the bike at all, even after slow wet clay and faster damp gravel riding.

You might as well put the fugly plastic number plate holder thing back on.

That thing weighs a ton.

At least this is smaller than the one on a certain WR250R.

It is flexible, light, stops mud and won't be damaged by any of the usual methods.

Fair enough.

Have you had any problems with your number plate like that? I got pulled over a couple of weeks ago, and the cop didn't even notice. I think he was surprised the black POS was legal(ish).

No problems at all so far.

The only popo stop I've had was a checkpoint, he just wanted to know what I'd done to it as his was a bit gutless and hard on the arse.

Not much you can say in a 15 sec stop...

I'll eventually put some of those white led bolts in the number plate.
When I have too...

Order a DR650 taillight.
The NZ one is the 250 one.

Same guy I bought mine off. His old man had an identical DR650, so this must be it. Looks a bloody good deal to me.

That's my little SuperTrapp IDS Race Core. Had it for about 10 years now.
ST 93dB vs GSXR 85dB at idle.

The mid pipe on the GSXR has... issues...


Pipe comparison...

Nah. That's why I'm bored and spend all my time pissing people off on here. Knowing my luck it'll drag on for weeks.

bummer

liked your classy windup the other day :

But hey, if you're looking at 70% trails and offroad and 30% road work, you'd struggle to find better (for the money....just to keep the orange boys happy).

DR650 are betterer if you're looking at more 50% offroad, 50% road. KLR650 for 30% offroad, 70% road. KTM if you're a, ummm, how do I put this, poser.

keep em coming...
