    I will be picking one up here pretty soon, seems like my tax return will help me get closer to 2 wheels than expected, had to buy a car first and now that's done thankfully so soon it'll be a DRZ. Been wanting one for a while and after 4 sportbikes I think it's time lol... I will say I miss my R1 though lol. Are they pretty good for commuting constantly and constant canyon rides? I ride usually between commutes to work or certain places and canyon rides about 18,000 miles a year. I got the R1 with 6k on it and in a year I was at 22k lol

    I ride mine to work everyday, and even though i live 6 minutes from my office, when i worked in Denver i rode it on I-25 everyday for 4 months. The ninja has not seen the canyons in 6 months and i have been in the canyons well over 10 times. They are great commuters, great for the canyons, and as you can see cops dont give a crap about them. If we had been on sport bikes there would have been some Rodney King beat downs going down.

    I'm surprised the sheriffs were cool.
    I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.

    I asked him at Fay Myers during the findraiser and he said to get in contact with him when I was ready. Just can't seem to find anything for sure as far as info on what years are best for these. Wish they were fuel injected

    The motor is pretty much the same for all years. Low miles is always a bonus. But 10k miles isn't much for a drz. Go see REPSOLA095

    The only thing that changed on DRZ SM's is the colors/graphics and owners.
