Yeah, so... er, um...

Dry weight 295lbs What'd they do, bolt a block of lead on that thing

[TheIglu]

I'm not into spending all that money on a USED motard. For what i'm doin, that DRZ400SM will work just fine.

[Stoneman]

Apparently Clayton, you're STILL wrong. You *DO* want it for racing. And from what I gather, Heath wants to spank you?

[TheIglu]

You're right. I'm sorry guys, I figured I knew what I wanted, but apparently I was wrong. A 295 lb motorcycle is rediculously close to being as heavy as my 505 lb dry Z-Rex. Suzuki makes a crappy bike. I should buy something used for the same or more than I can buy this new bike for. I should not worry about a title or inspection since I will do nothing but race with it. I should instead spend $6,599 on a brand new WR450F and another grand and a half on a super-motard kit since I will do nothing but racing. Good thing I don't need lights or mirrors for racing, or I would be getting close to eight grand after everything is said and done!


And gentlemen, I will be willing to wager that after all is accounted for (lights, mirrors, heavy ass bike, RIDER), I will still come up tipping the scales close to you RACERS out there.

When you weigh 130lbs, the weight of the bike matters little.

If I wanted to race, I'd buy a 2-stroke.

I don't want to spend money on a used SupraTT, this Tiburon is just fine for what I'm doing

p.s. if you were really serious about that weight statement and the hp difference you'd own a klr already for 1/3 the price of any motahhd, fyi. :p

But I don't LIKE the KLR. It doesn't come with SM wheels and tires and it's air cooled.

I just hope Yamaha or Honda gets off their ass and makes some nice SM bikes from the factory.

...and it will still embarrass you on the roadway of your choice

btw - check your facts, you've been sorridly misinformed
