the wrangler i have needs some rust repair but i am going to ask for a couple hundred. The drz looks like a fun bike, i know its not going to be as crazy as the crf450 motard i rode yesterday but should still impress me, and after i give it some power mods it should be good to go.

ya it has a procircuit t4 slip on but i will look for a complete exhaust and get it jetted. carbs are expensive as hell and i was also thinking of getting cams for it.
and dude if you arent sold on the idea... find someone that has one, absolutely nuts. rode my buddies 2003 crf450 around and i have never had such a huge grin on my face. this is how my reactions went
<throttled second gear and the front came up and just held it then was
and said alright i am convinced! sure they dont have the top end speed but thats what the hawk is for

I was going to go SM but decided DS is where I want to head next. Much more possibilities to ride while keeping my license lol. Still will be a DRZ though. Plan to buy some SM wheels and tires for when I get that itch.
You shouldn't have any issues getting a tag saying that.

I rode my friend's DRZ400. The trouble with dual sports is to have any fun on the street with them you need street tires, which makes it useless offroad. Maybe there's a compromise in between?
