Look what I found in the woods...

How are you liking it? I want a dual sport pretty badly, but I don't know that I'm willing to have it as my only bike. Adding a second bike to the garage is something my wife most likely won't allow, but I REALLY want this:

2010 Husqvarna TE630


I want something road legal that is more dirt bike than street bike. The Huskys are pretty damn expensive though.

I'd look for a used 2007 KTM 525 EXC.

I did look into that, and while it does look like a badass bike, the maintenance schedule is through the roof! The Husky is lower maintenance. The smaller dual sports both from KTM and Husky are MX bikes w/turn signals on them, hence the insane maintenance schedule. The Husky TE 610/630s are big and heavy, but there's a lot less maintenance. I don't want to be changing oil every day I ride it.

the DRZ still requires an oil change every 1000 miles... but it only takes 2quarts and 10/40 oil is cheap. just sucks on long trips to have to pack oil, oil filters, and crush washers with ya.

You can lay over in Fayetteville anytime you want Ebbs. We'll make a weekend of it.

nice thing about the DRZ over the KTM is the maintenance needs... course that's about the only thing the DRZ has over the KTM... unless you count weight!

I love the bike... easier to tour on than the RR or my ZZR... though doesn't like Highway speeds... though I'm swaping in a 16t front sprocket (15t stock) so that'll help. and I'm putting on a full system exhaust and jet kit. so shouldn't be too bad.

remind me, and I'll give you a review when I get home.

if you're coming to the rally you can take it for a spin...
