    Seems a good price with the tank and exhaust. New they would surely cost well over $1k?

    Cheers

    Very Nice

    Not for sale, is it?
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    Actually, there is someone on this forum that is hoging two Dr650's. Maybe he will be looking to part with one very soon for a reasonable price?

    At some stage it will get parted from it's current owner, but it's not likely to be in the next few months.

    Nah, I've just finished building it.
    Easy enough to do with a few basic skills and a shed full of junk tho.

    They are out there....I know of a bike just traded that may go for $3500, Husqvarna Te570....Needs a bit of cosmetic touching up, but will be awesome. I actually have my eye on it right now. Keep looking and ask around...It may just jump out at you quicker than you think... Buy it, save some more and then when you can, do it up and work on farkling it bit by bit, rather that all at once and blowing the budget!
