    thats not running big then, lol. just means the padding broke down and could use replacing. the thing to do is find what shell sizes are shared. like M and L could be the same shell size just different pad sizes could fix the issue even though itll be tighter for a while

    get a different bike :crapstorm:

    honestly i had zero regrets with my sm and i took it offroad plenty of times through trails. for the price though id just cough up a little more dough and get a yamaha wr450/ ktm 500exc and never worry about wanting a different bike

    depends on the bikes your comparing. the drz is the heaviest bike you can get in that category at ~320lbs, any other bike will be lighter. for the most part 250s will be lighter (excluding the crf250L) than a comparable 450/500 but its only 20-30 lbs usually and the extra power more than makes up for it. a 250 might struggle do any freeway riding, but the drz or any 450+ will do fine.

    i wouldnt personally buy a 250 nor would i have bought a drz if i was redoing it.

    i wouldnt suggest an air cooled bike for anything that might see traffic
    theyre pricy, but very well could be the only bike youll need until you decide you need more bikes anyways :bikewheelie2:

    Would have gone SM and bought someone’s used 18/21 set up to swap back and forth.

    Can’t do offroad bikes on the road here so my only other option would be Husky 701. Everything else is either too difficult to do, too expensive, or too maintenance heavy.

    Ah, Suzuki 0% financing- enabling gixxer sixxer squids everywhere to stack a brand new bike in flip flops and board shorts.

    Glad to see you at least used it for something cool! Bike looks baller

    Epic shot! I want to get a dual sport for days where my back grumbles about the Panigale. I also caught the KTM bug until I looked at the price tag. 11k for something that I know I'll drop like 1000 times doesn't seem super enticing. DRZ or CRF is way easier to stomach!

    Yeah, i will never bite off the orange bike turd. Unless it learns to maintain itself and comes down in price by 30%

    Japanese bikes will forever be all there is for me.

    This bike has been down hard...three or four times. Been flipped ass over tin cups, and drug down countless hill climbs that i failed. Its a tank.

    street bike first. DRZ suits me just fine for now. BB, cams, and carb are still on the to do list.
