Re: Anyone had a DR750?
I didnt think while you were here but my dads got hte mz beghira, thats a 660 single you'd be welcome to try out. The tech on it is prob older than the dr so it should be a fair comparison lol

Is it more like a DR600, or more like a big ADV type thing? Really not much idea what to expect.

As I said Chris , Only have experience of the DR650 myself basically it was a big brother to the DR 350 of the mid 90's, so a 10 year evolution from the DR 750, more of an agricultural single than todays one's, very basic bike, bit top heavy for true off road use, relaxed enough at 70 for the motorway, but becomes tiring at 80, tick over is vibby and slow speed can be a little "lumpy at times, gearbox is set for off road so on road first is next to useless as you have to change up almost as soon as you pull away, but works well after that. Cheers Mark.
