I sold my SV and now own a DRZ400S. It's a great bike!! A bit slow and the seat can get a bit hard after an hour or two, but otherwise I can't fault it. Did 240 miles at the weekend no probs, it's fantastic in town and great off road. I'm looking out for some SM wheels now.

I looked at the SM and the S side by side today, main differences I spotted ( apart from the obvious) were with the front forks and the rear wheel - the snail cams have been removed and replaced with rather untidily welded on threaded adjusters as on a normal road bike.
What scant info I can find on the newsgroups suggest the engine mapping is different too, to make it a bit more urban friendly - or less likely to wheely
