I see more and more of those each time I'm at the track. They look like a lot of fun. Which ones have you been looking at?

DRZ400 and another Suzuki one I cant remember. Theyre way too expensive for me even used they're like $5000.

There's a guy on another forum selling a DRZ400 super moto for $3100... It's an '05.

You'll get ass raped trading it in... Talk to the dealers, find out what they'll give you for trade, then mark it up $500 and put it on craigslist. You'll end up much better that way... plus you won't have to pay retarded setup fees and shit...

Yeah tru dat. The Honda stealership here sales their new stuff for like $2k off msrp but sells their used stuff for like KBB +$2k anyways. They wanted as much for a used '05 CBR600 as they do for a new '08 CBR600.

They do that so you have room to negotiate... What's terrible about that shit is the fact that they have room to negotiate off of MSRP... I was thinking about this the other day in the shower...

What if you opened a dealership that was more of a parts/accessories store... say, at The Gap. You make your money and stay alive off of parts/accessories... gear and whatnot... then you sell bikes for very little profit... People buying bikes for cheap, will spend the money they saved on bling, go fasts, and ass covers... If you could get the land and everything right on 129, you could very well have a fucking gold mine...

I have a DRZ400S (street legal) set up for the dirt. I was thinking about getting rid of it until I just spent 4 days down in Arkansas tearing it up....AWESOME!!! 60mph down winding dirt roads, though some awesome single track, onto the highway, back onto trails. Man it was fricken great. A little heavy to throw around on the trail, but way fun.

You can pick up DRZ's around $3k if you keep an eye out. The KTM's are too damn pricey.

Been thinking about getting a dual sport bike, might move to colorado. I have been told there are plenty of places to ride there.

I love mine just never get to ride it around here...KC sucks like that. I'll probably keep it through Tennessee then sell it when I get back. Or right before I leave
