@GabeLakmann @Royper @WashedOutGundamPilot warning...effort post

cant go wrong with a drz400, xr's and the dr650 are oil cooled, heavier and not as zippy but they chug and fit along with the klr, made forever, easy to find parts, but not watercooled, which is why the klr kinda wins that use case well, drz's are just a great no frills modern low power basic "cheap" street dirtbike, again tons of availability to keep running well

ktms are rad, but expensive to maintain, not really reliable, shorter interchange between model years, i have a 04 smr450, was a nightmare to fix the cylinder head, pricey and not as intuitive to repair like a japoneeze bike but nothing rips like a ktm, it just redlines so fast

sportbikes are fun till your balls go numb and cant feel your palms after 30 miles, you kinda grow out of the liter bike allure if you actually find a track to do a day and understand their intended use... brap lifeeeeee
