My budget is around £1500 but the only xt600's I could find were over £2k. That DR-Z in norfolk is only around 3800 miles which is one of the lowest I've seen for the year at such a low price (most others are asking nearer £1800-£2000 for a sub 4,000 mile DRZ).
I'll see what he says and go from there. I should really get my finger out and polish those downpipes ready for eBay! |
No condescendingness taken
Reason i chose one was i had been on a rideout with Luckypants and couldnt believe how much the DRZ fooked off when pushed, i was hooked right there i think.
Parts are dead easy to get and 'dirt' cheap (see what i did there
) which is a bonus if you're gonna drop it a few times.
I also intend to get some SM wheels for mine next year so i have 2 bikes in 1.
I have my eye on a remus exhaust on fleabay as we speak to make it sound a little more throaty
Sounds like me and Col are having a bike off reading the posts lol
Im gonna go ner ner nanna ner ner next
