Also you can order them with all kinds of grippy or even slippery covers if either needing more mobility or not wanting to slip a little during a wheelie bothers you.

I'm putting my DRZ on Craigslist next week. I've got a Corbin and a pro-upholsterer installed Seat Concepts --both nearly new. Which seat should I list with the bike and which should I resell separate? I feel like there's a good chance the buyer will be some kid who doesn't care how stiff the Corbin is, but I don't know if there's a market to resell the SConcepts.

Yeah uh that's actually cheaper after inflation than the release price of the 690 SMC.

It's tempting but for around 10k you can buy a 2016 FZ09 and put ohlins, an exhaust, and stainless brake lines on it.

I'd pay another 2 and get something with actual balls. buuuuut this is coming from someone that rides a drz almost old enough to buy cigarettes.

That light/signal cluster on the tail is ugly as gently caress. Looks like an afterthought.

Having crashed a few my self, and borne witness to many crashes and multiple-crashed motards; none of them sustained anything I could call major or even moderate damage. A full set of plastics to freshen the look up is a few hundred bucks w/ graphics. If you don't have the means you don't have the means, but if you do, I highly recommend it.

SHOTS FIRED. Those look so nice. Several levels above what I want to go for, but I'd be all over that if I had the cash.

I have to go to work and it was raining hard and the speed limits are like 25 mph camera enforced between the dealer and my house and some dude was going 20 with his trunk flopping up and down and just about the most anticlimactic new ride home ever. This bike is going to be so loving awesome

You bought a 701 and now you're complaining about rain, speed limits, and other cars in your way? SMH, I think you're doing this supermoto thing wrong.

 First bike I've had with ABS. The whole thing feels like I'm cheating at riding a motorcycle, everything is so effortless. I definitely quickly passed the phase of new purchase "oh god what have I done" feeling real quick with the first wheel loft. I recommend. Also are axle sliders a worthwhile thing to put on or do they not really protect that much?
