Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

Suzuki typically discount these, (and a few other models) in their summer firesale. Can't tecall what they used to go for but it was well less than that.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

Sadly I think the GFC has ended Suzukis summerfests from being the bargain mecca that they were. That E model is probably not what you are after-more adventure dual purpose foccused than street.
Scooter boy
i have a k7 drz400sm with a few extra bits on it and they are a orsome toy and if ya put a small screen on it then they are also sweet as for longer trips,ya just gota use all the gas stations lol

Have done the Supermoto thing on the road a few years back.
Got hold of a Husaberg 650 race bike and got it registered, it was a real hoot to ride but bloody expensive on maintainance then got a KTM620 SM, more road orientated but they both encouraged bad behaviour
Road orientated SM's are good for city commuting but a pain on the open road.

At pace you have to hold on more due to the upright position.... not a smooth either at 100 K++ for some of the more dirt style bikes (not so much the twin cyl big CC ones)
Fit a small screen helps if you are doing long runs
there is no perfect bike for all conditions

In terms of having to hold on due to sitting upright, how does that compare to my gn?At pace you have to hold on more due to the upright position.... not a smooth either at 100 K++ for some of the more dirt style bikes (not so much the twin cyl big CC ones)

Depends on the bike. But I agree, if you want to spend time on the open road on a motard, a screen will make life more comfortable.
You'll probably find it a little more tiring than the gn, typically because you're really sitting on top of a motard - there's nothing in front of you. You're a bit more "in" the gn (yet still exposed to the wind).

If you can get over the looks, you could probably pick this up for $8k, because I know they're trying to get rid of it http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-582072629.htm
Used to belong to me from brand new, then it was traded in by the guy I sold it to. They're great fun, plenty of power, the screen is handy. Great on the gas and does mean wheelies
Is reliable. Has 7500km service intervals.

Without a screen you will cop it more, but a well designed screen can kick the air up higher than flat larger screens so it will depend on bike design and the screen ....
Travel 5kph slower and it will drop the wind factor massively
I prefer no screen on my bike but over 100 on windy days does add to more rider fatigue and I may put my screen back on in winter...

As has been said they have a very upright riding position so you'll cop all the head wind, the seats generally are not designed for extended journeys and the single cylinder versions would be a bit 'buzzy' at touring speeds.
Other than that there great fun to ride
