No electric start, no working turn signals, no 17" wheels...no good for Sav.

[csmutty]

No plate either. Maybe it can get one, I dunno. I'm kind of guessing no, not without a loophole.
Advantage of going DRZ is that it comes plated without any fuss.

I'm just going off of what he told me...and what he has said in this thread based on borrowing a DRZ for the past weekend...

Sav...you just said that a DRZ was off the list because of power? Will you make up your damn mind boi?

[tsorfas]

The only DRZ I'll consider for now it's Chris'.
But overall I'm not looking for DRZs. Especially that one from
ME which is nothing close to what I want.
Yes the DRZ is slow but still fun. However this is a bike I don't need so I won't get out of my way too much for this.

[nhbubba]

You rode a DRZ for the weekend? And you posted your thoughts? I feel like I missed this.

I get that you don't want a DRZ. I don't have a lot of experience here. But I think you probably want one of those orange colored SMC or SMR things. I just think you're going to have to pay for it.

Yes I had a DRZ 400 for the weekend. It was fun but it caused me mixed feelings.
The MX to sM conversation is going to cause me two major problems. Reliability and cost.
So yes we are looking for a unicorn.
But hey I'm used to be doing things people tell me I can't do

[tsorfas]

What I thought of the DRZ? I would never take it to the track. I think it's too slow for it.
I wouldn't use it as a commute vehicle either for the same reason. It's uncomfortable for any speed above 75.
It's very fun to wheelie, stoppie and semi off road situations.
Maybe a very tight track (go kart) style.

It's a toy. If it had 10-15 hp more it would be a no brainer for me. But it's not a toy like my 1000 or my track bike. That's a legit toy. You get it just for fun. And my budget for that is different that if I were looking at another style motorcycle.
That's all.

[nhbubba]

I can dig it. Sometimes the hunt is half the fun.

Squid.

So is it slower than a Hawk?

[R7]

So yes we are looking for a unicorn.

Your unicorn is a KTM 525 EXC, though I think I've mentioned that earlier in this thread. Mine was super reliable, smoothest engine of any motard I've had/ridden, and plenty of power. The great thing about the EXC vs the MX versions is the gear box. Low first gear for stump pulling, wheelies and climbing the sides of buildings, and a 6th gear for cruising if you have to. When I had mine, I had no trouble riding 200+ miles in a day.

And I happen to know someone who just bought a new 2014 KTM 300 dirty, and may be selling his 06 525 EXC that has a RI street title and both SM and dirty wheels. You want I should ask about it?

Can't compare it. But I think launching it against the mini CRF I had the CRF would have been ahead the first 50-75ft

[tsorfas]

Mark I know of the 525 since Greece. It's the most popular street motard after the XRs.
The problem in the US is that they are rare and expensive.
Let me know if that someone is selling it and what's the price.
Title and wheels as you mentioned are a must.

Thanks for the suggestion and the lead.

[R7]

I'll check with him in the morning and let you know. He mentioned it last week, but also mentioned possibly keeping the SM wheels. If that's the case, I have a full set of wheels and will give you a great deal on them

That's not exactly a fair comparison.

[csmutty]

That's not exactly a fair comparison.

For multiple reasons.

Let me know. Shoot me a text 508-981-2400
I think I have your number but not sure.

[tsorfas]

No interest in the dirt wheels if it's gonna make any difference in the price btw.

Like I said, pay to play. I'm sure it's worth it though.

Yes! Oh dear lord. NY trip if marks lead doesn't work out.

[R7]

I'll text you first thing in the morning once I talk to him. I can tell you though, his is much much cleaner than the bike in that craigslist add, plus 06 is the first year of the black frame
