I picked up a used and slightly abused 2001 DRZ a couple weeks ago and man is this bike a HOOT!
This may be the best "back road banger" I have ever ridden, it corners fantastic and handles the humps and bumps better than anything I've ever ridden.
I took "Darla The DRZ" to some dirt roads in SE Hickman County yesterday afternoon and gave it about a 35 mile run. By the end I was fairly comfortable and looking for pot holes, puddles and rutts.
I'll be posting mods etc in the weeks to come. the first will be lowering ( 29" inseam and 37" seat height) you do the math.
