Just add a little $$$ and get the orange or the blue. Ktm or berg if you want power .

Personally I like the DRZ and the old KLX400 clone that was made from it...but...arm socket ripping power? What have you been riding?...a step-thru Honda 90?

Yeah, yeah, I know you're talking about a more motard application when comparing the SF, but in that category I think I'd want nothing less than 600/650cc for at least some wrist ripping power.

Werd.. If I rode street only, it'd be a TE650 or something. The KLX351 is about the same power as the DRZ400 and nowhere near arm-ripping. hahaha

I've been riding a KLX250SF... Haha.

In comparison of course... the DRZ is much much faster in acceleration.

The thread does say talk me out of getting a KLX... well the DRZ is faster, and not a whole lot more than the KLX, and just as bomb proof.
