Hi all,
I have been offered a really really cheap DR650, and I'm really undecided.
On the one hand, I don't need a second bike.
On the other, the engine sports more ponies, a 5speed box and kick start.
So I would have to convert the rear wheel from belt to chain drive...
The plus side of this is
:
- 5 speeds
- better hand controls/switchgear plus tripmeter and speedo
- kick starter for kicking a$$ 8)
- chain drive conversion means I can experiment with final drive ratios and find the best one for me
The minus side:
- Chain drive conversion... only found it once on dutch eBay (or was it german?)
- engine block not as elegant as LS
- may have to undergo new DOT test
because I changed the engine block (and serial number...)
???
