Hi folks, i'm back after 3 long years. I sold my black 07 for a sportbike because i wanted more power and i crashed it. Got me a DRZ400SM supermoto and had plenty of fun with it for almost a year now but i'm beginning to get sick of the long rides on the highway. I had a full system, cut airbox and tuning done on my 400cc supermoto but the seat and speed really sucks on highways.
one thing i never regretted about the drz was it's ruggedness and reliability, crashed it 3 times and only had to change my steering bar once. the lack of power is kinda getting to me because i'm making more highway trips this year. it also lacks wind protection on long rides.
thinking back, i sold my fizzy because i wanted a more aggressive riding posture, hated slouching over the bars and the front forks were too fucking soft. they made the bike handle like a banana boat in the bends. the drz feels the same now but the diff is, i can tweak the preload and rebound.
my question is, should i get another fizzy next year? kinda hoping yammy will come up with a white faired model but they keep repeating colors, damned. Or should i opt for another middleweight instead? ducs and katooms are too expensive, i get shitty kawasaki dealers here so i'm kinda left with the 3 Jap choices. i'm posting here because the fizzy is the cheapest 600cc available on the market but i'm having second thoughts because i rode it before.
hmm... well, should i get the fizzy again and swop out the fork springs/ opt for heavier weight oil/ racetech cartridge emulators or choose another bike instead? :dunno
