I just sold my modded out 2000 DRZ SM for $3200 CDN. Around here that'd be up for around $5500. But offer $3800.

Around here (Milwaukee) I'd say upper 3's, maybe low 4's, max. That is super low mileage after all, so he can go a bit high, but not almost 5k high

Anyone on the west coast, CA in particular, have any experience in shipping bikes? I honestly believe it will be cheaper for me to buy a bike in the states and have it shipped versus buying one here. I just have no clue how to go about getting it crated and picked up for shipping.

Good luck finding someone dumb enough to ship a bike overseas. Not that you're untrustworthy, it's just that 99.99% of the time it's a scammer asking. Unless you have someone in the states to buy it with cash and then ship it for you.

Either way, unless you can walk into a shipping office wherever you are, hand them cash and have them handle the US end of things (which assumes you have a bike in the US ready to ship), or have someone buy the bike in the US and ship it out, you'll probably have issues doing it.

Quotes I got to ship a car to Hawaii were in the $4k range. There's a lot of companies that ship freight for individuals, you can usually get quotes from them online. Most/all of them in Socal operate out of Long Beach harbor.

Depending on the bike and the end desti it could even make sense to fly to the States for vacation, buy it, set up shipping, then go home and wait for it to slowboat over. However keep in mind that most of the time the bike is more expensive because of VAT or some other rolled-in tax and that generally the govt has ways of making dodging that VAT by grey-market importing into a giant hassle.

Scored a running DR650 engine off Craigslist for $150 but thinking up installing a Big Bore 780cc kit onto it. Stock DR650 motor is pretty weak pushing out only about 30ish HP, this kit on Dynometer shows a bump in power produced to 54HP/50lb TQ Already own a pretty well modded DR650 converted to SM (FCR Carb, GSXR muffler, FMF header, complete suspension upgrades, etc) but would like to have a bit more power. For what I already have in the DR650 and price of Husky TE630 & KTM's just seem a crazy on my budget. Link to the kit that sells for $660 http://procycle.us/info/articles/dr650/780-kit.html

Considering you already have an FCR and exhaust, do it. The torque down low would be earth moving.

Buying a used bike in the states and having it shipped over, even assuming a 2K shipment, would still save me 1-3 grand. For reference, a WR250 here is 9999. A used DRZ averages 7500-8500.

It is when you are putting in an engine that can make comparable power for no reason other than "what if?"...

I'd rather see a bored out DRZ than a bored out DR motor. I get what the fun of a big bored single would be but honestly there's more potential in a DRZ motor than the DR. Also, I agree with the turbo'd WR. That'd be infinitely more interesting than a DR really.

So, uh, two questions seeing as how I find myself coming to the states soon. 1) Is a drz sm any more complicated than a normal dirt bike to disassemble? Ie, could it be done in a motel room with less than 50 in harbor freight tools? 2) Anyone know of any DRZ's or other supermotos coming up for sale in the Portland area in the next 3 months?

If you could disassemble a normal dirtbike in a hotel room, then you can do the DRZ. Theres nothing more complicated about them than a dirtbike.

The only thing that's going to be different from a regular 4-stroke dirtbike is the electronics. Headlight, blinkers, taillight, spedo. Only an issue if you have to debug and chase down some electrical issue, it's still stupidly simple. edit: In fact the DRZ would probably be easier than your run of the mill derpbike, since there is such a HUUUUGE weath of information on the net about the DRZ. https://www.thumpertalk.com https://www.supermotojunkie.com Here.

I have a drz400sm and Im having a hard time finding offroad areas that do not have No Tresspassing signs all over the place. There is a MX park really close to my house with all different kinds of tracks. Would the SM handle very well there or would it suck taking it to MX tracks? Gravel and dirt is a blast but sand and mud sucks with the street tires.

MX track? You'd be a brave man. It won't be any fun there, well, it'll be a little fun, but mostly just really scary.

Gravel and dirt is a blast but sand and mud sucks with the street tires. If it's an actual, groomed MX track I wouldn't even try it. The dirt is tilled up and works great for dirtbikes with knobbies... not street based sumos on street tires. Now if you're talking a OHV area or something where the tracks are super hardpacked and the jumps are fairly small? Fuckin go for it!

Snowdens Secret posted:For some reason this reads like you're going to try to smuggle the bike home by taking it apart and swallowing all the pieces Close enough. Although I may be golden. Apparently the ship is going to let us transport bikes on the "flight" deck, so I may not need to worry about disassembly. It also may not end up being a DRZ. I really just want a dual sport for now, and there's a shitton of cheap XRs up there.

Coming up on a right turn onto a sidestreet, was kinda dong-ing it as much as my 250 will let me (carrying a burden of weight greater than the engine CCs) came up at about 25-30mph, slammed it into first while hard on the front and let the clutch slip out. I heard the rear wheel squeaking a bit and it started to slide so being a dumbass, I gave it more front brake and pulled in the clutch in my panicked state, let it back out and proceeded to take my right turn at 5mph in first
