only road bike i`ve had was a `81 FJ650 shaft drive. would like another roady to.

I suffer also from short leg disease but you will find that the DR's have a lot of suspension travel so there not actually big.

For me the big 4 stroke singles are the V8 muscle cars of the motorbike world.

For me the sound of a big single ticking over with straight through exaust does it every time.

And I would love a electric starter for the DR it's a pain in the *** frukin around with the decompression and the idle when trying to start the beast bit I will give credit to Suzuki those engines are bulletproof.

Anybody know where you can get a DR800 from I have heard some foreign markets have it, i would love to take a big DR on motocross and show those 15grand water cooled 5 valve pansies whos boss.

You can't beat a big air cooled single.
