I'd love a DR but I'm far too short in the leg department for one. Cracking looking bikes.

I'll take photos tomorrow. I don't even paint it - all plastic scratched, crashbars always a bit "worn" - I fall a lot in offroad rides. Underneath it's perfect - I took it all apart, cleaned frame to metal, repainted all etc.

What sold me on DR is vesatility and ability to tour even 2 up on bad roads if I know they bad. 400 km on tank, huge seat, lots of luggage carrying ability, surprisingly good handling when you push it supermoto-style and that it's incredibly tough and built with lot of "excess" so that mine now at least 15 kg lighter. And fixable on roadside with basic tools.
I crashed it twice on road, countless times offroad, dropped it on parkings - just pick it up and keep going. And I am short guy too - 171 cm only. But I manage. :wink:

But it's nowhere near VTR when it comes to engine and sporttourer speeds. I am not going to sell VTR, that's for sure. I love it too much and Arrow (I have same as BSB Storms) race cans sound is sooo good :thumbup:
