@GabeLakmann @Royper @WashedOutGundamPilot i feel if i type more than a sentence its deserves slight forewarning ha...

almost all sportbikes on the street are mostly bro dude goofs, or euro boomers who want to hold onto the last shred of youth, neither can ride, you can be just as fast on a 600 too but without the insurance premium, i dunno if youve ridden long or at all, but early morning rips around town are just as fun on a small bike, but to live with day in and day out, a sportbike sucks bad, check out yamaha fz's, sportbike motor with upright seating if you need that powaaaaah, i think kawasakis are the Z models, i dont need that much engine as a washed up doomer homotorist, im fast on a unicycle

i like the drz400 just because its watercooled and more "modern" (its like 22 years going on the same frame and engine) still heavy compared to a legit 450 race bike, summer time riding is tough on an oil cooled big single, my xr650 needed a fresh piston and connecting rod at 20k miles, ive never seen a stock drz400 burn up pistons with average use

dr650 vs the 400, too completely different bikes, even tho the weight break is slim, its hard to explain, like, the drz is a faux dirtbike, the dr is just a big lump desert bike, they handle different, the suspension geo is different, there really not in the same range of use case... hopes dis was worf ze read...
