...I still enjoy riding with the Drz because it keeps me moving faster than I would if I where alone!!!

Next time everyone is in the bike shop, sit on the Honda 650, dual sport, man that bike is awesome!!. I just found out that the guy here at work who bought the 2006 KLR 650 might be selling it, it has around 1600 miles on it. If it was green I might have to consider it, matching ponies in the garage would be awesome. One for trails and one for the road and longer trips. But its the Aztec Red, and I'm not a big fan of red.....well unless it the Honda 650 red......see what I did there I looped it.

That would be a no brainer for me. The XR650 is a MUCH more capable bike in every regard....no contest.

Yeah, I guess a more correct statement from me would be thatthose bikes are in the same price range as a DRZ400, so the choice would be a no brainer. NO WAY would I choose a DRZ over the KTM or Husky.

you can get a TE250 for $6200 otd and the TE450 for $6800 otd pretty much at any husky dealer, trust me i've called them all around the midwest. and the 250 husky i was told by every dealer that it would feel like it has twice as much power as the KLX (2 of them dealers sold Kawasaki's tooand know the KLX). i'm sure they're talking a stock KLX though. however it is like 25lbs lighter than the KLX with a lot more horsepower so it's no surprise it feels that much more powerful i bet. the TE 450 i believe mayhave the most powerful 450 engine in any dirt bike currently. it's over 50 horse stock and built to withstand about anything so i read.

A DRZ400E or even an "s" will put a honda 650L to shame in the dirt.......... No contest[8D]

I've got nothing against the DRZ, but go look up the number of Baja 1000 wins on an XR650, and better yet, just look at the what the top 10 finishers of the Baja 1000 ride. 9 out of 10 are on the XR650, and no the 10th one is not a DRZ. The XR was designed as a desert racer and it can really haul the mail. Not the best bike in tight singletrack, but then again, neither is the DRZ.
