I grew up on dirt bikes and three wheelers. Haven't owned a bike in over 20 years.
Four or five months ago, after watching videos, browsing my local bike dealership, researching my final choices, and saving my money and planning my mods for my choice of bike, I bought a Suzuki DR650 Dual Sport. I've been having a blast on it. For those of you who might not know, dual sports are 50/50 street/dirt bikes. I've got a pile of things (Parabellum windshield, new high bend protaper bars, acerbis handguards, pillowtop grips, footpeg lowering mounts and new wider, longer pegs) that I'll be installing tomorrow or Saturday. And that's just the beginning This model has a huge cult following, and thousands of aftermarket mods to pimp it up. So anyway, does anyone else ride? Street or dirt? (including scooter riders, which I know is popular in Europe.) I'm loving it, it's great to be back on two wheels. This Suzuki is a four stroke, so it doesn't have the powerband a two stroke, pure dirt bike does, but it's got plenty of ass. And they're supposed to be bulletproof, super reliable bikes. I feel all giddy like a lovestruck schoolgirl!
