    I don't. But DRZs are cool. If you had one, you would know.

    The 520 is like a grenade. Except it removes the firing pin itself and you're constantly in a battle to get it back in place before she blows.

    I know a couple of people with 525's and they haven't had any issues. Little stuff here and there along with regular maint. Awesome bikes in my book.

    Only problem I ever had with mine was my fault, otherwise it was the best dirt/supermoto I ever owned.

    I had XR650l , very heavy for tight stuff,better for open roads,jumped some small stuf up to 5 feet and broked subframe,easy fix ,weld it easy.
    feels more like roadbike with lots of workout .For fire roads its good or freeway . If you more in offroad id go with crf450 if it must be honda,seems like same power to ground ,but more fun in all-around (not for long milles on freeway)
