@GabeLakmann @Royper @WashedOutGundamPilot expensive to retool to make completely new models, engineering for assembly line new production runs need to fit projected sale quota, its big business shit, its cheaper to repackage cute plastics and trim on already existing stuff with minor updates, yoooou dont need 6 speeds if you just short shift anyway.. just wait till the motor go bap bap bap bap bap bap bap... than shift
youtube.com/watch?v=wFM3H4OEN1c i love this dude, hes clownish but a genuine moto chad, he turned this bike into a big adventure offroad touring "thing", i think theres a playlist... hes much more bike nerd and funner version of how ive ridden motos, from groms to big singles
just get something cheap and near clapped, ride it into the ground, than get something nice according to taste and comfort needs

@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...

@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

@WashedOutGundamPilot @Royper for a big fat dual sport, they feel narrow and nimble as fug scooting through town, plenty of power for its intended use, posing in a city pretending you tour

@WashedOutGundamPilot im kinda a fan, antiquated yet reliable engine thats been in production for years, dunno what would be better suited, ive had a ton of singles and nothing stayed together longer than my beater klr
-
@Royper @WashedOutGundamPilot boomer boner for sure, they ride really nice
