Well there might be a trend towards enduro bikes for a while. My recently acquired DR650 is cleaning up nicely and after some fun afternoon test rides playing in a few mud holes and such I now officially have the dualsport bug... BAD! This thing is a freaking blast! It doesn't hurt that I almost stole it when I bought it. There was literally a moving van in the driveway when I got there so the negotiations nicely turned my way. Even when all the mods are done I'll be in it for under $3k. Came with the IMS tank and a spare Corbin seat!
Here's a few pics after her bath. Still have some tweaking to do. So far new 50/50 tires, new handlebars, new heavier rear spring and lot more ghoodies on the way including 520 chain/sprocket, front springs, brakes, wheel bearings etc etc.. along with all the necessary maintenance stuff that you have to do to a bike when you dont't know anything about it's "real" history. Anywhay here's how she sits at the moment but I think a switch to all white (with tasteful decals) my be in the offing. Too soon to tell.
ATTENTION THIS BLOG WILL BE CLOSING SOON. I'm leaving this blog up till the end of the month. After that all posting will continue at my new site motorcyclephotooftheday.com . All content from this site has already been transferred to the new site and can be found there.
