Hmmm yeah good points.

On a local bike tv show they showed a guy smoke a field of pre-'82 classics in a street race on his XR500 converted supermoto. Made me think what if..

I'll start putting away money now and I guess by Christmas time I'll probably have enough to get a used DRZ locally, or get one new on credit for the remainder.

I bought a 95 xr600r with full intentions of supermotoing it, but god drat is it expensive. I ended up just doing a mild restore on the bike and will use it as a dual sport this summer. Maybe next winter I'll take the plunge, but between buying the thing (my 3rd bike at that) and getting it back to decent shape, it was too deep for my pockets.
