Pretty much what the title says. I sold my DRZ400S because I thought I wanted a bigger street motorcycle. And while that is still the case, I can tell that I really miss my DRZ. There’s something about that bike I had that was just a blast to ride. Now I’m sitting here thinking I made a huge mistake in selling it.

I really want to try other styles of riding, especially sport motorcycles in particular. But before I sold it, I always thought if I got another dirt bike it would be one exclusive to dirt like a YZ450 or RMZ or something. Yet, I want to get another DRZ. It’s like a weird phenomenon. There’s just something about them, being not great at anything but good at everything.

Maybe a few years down the line I’ll get another and I’ll join you DRZ riders again, as they are great and underrated motorcycles

Hello everyone!

I’m looking at getting my second motorcycle after selling my DRZ400. I found a 2016 FZ09 but I have some concerns.

Is it too much power for my second motorcycle? What kind of issues should I look out for? Any advice if I go and take a look at it?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

I really want to buy a KTM Duke 790. They’re only around 6k near me, which I think is a bargain for that 285 degree parallel twin. But, I have two options. A 2023 with 7k miles or a 2020 with 3k miles.

The 2023 is a little cheaper but not by a whole lot, but my question is is there even a difference in those model years? They seem the same to me. Is there something wrong with the 2023 model years that makes 2020s better or vice versa?
