    May 2015 I decided that I had enough of scouring craigslist (and several other sites) for a DRZ400 that suited me. Plus, Suzuki had 0% financing for 60 months...too good to pass up. I wanted an SM but ultimately settled for what was in stock, and it suits my adventurous soul just fine. Anyway, I came home with this beauty! Rode it off the lot with 0.7 miles. :yay::headbang:

    My favorite shots of the bike so far:
