Should have gone to SpecSavers. It's purple
I couldn't live with the purple and yellow seat any longer, Tina said it looked like a Dyson
So I fitted a black seat cover

This was my DR650 at around 11am THIS MORNING
Do I wish I had a kick start model? erm let me think for a nano second
Hardcore!
Have you seen the stupid prices on biketrader for the old ones? 1.5k for knackered hacks
How old is yours and where did you get it from? My sources that I'm checking are: ebay, adtrader, biketrader

Found mine on Ebay
Then fitted;
Hagon progressive fork springs
K&N filter
Dinojet
Bar risers
Bash plate
geared for off road
and I have an 18" DR350 rear wheel to fit
Got rid of much of the purple & yellow Dyson effect with decent hanguards, seat cover and fork gaiters and it starts to sort of ok.
Rear suspension is too soft for me and rebound is weak, so maybe buying a CCM 644 this week

I had one of the old DR600, compleate with rear drum brake for 16 years. Standard it was an absolute pig to start but I loved it dearly. I took the motor out and left it with TTS near Silverstone and got it back after it had been gas flowed, head skimmed, barrel skimmed (don't ask!!) and re-cammed. I had many weeks after playing with jets and airbox mods. The end result was by far the best bike I have ever owned. I toured thrashed and generally hooted around for the best part of 38,000 miles post rebuild and it is still going with its new owner. It was also unbelieveably easy to start after it had been altered
In standard trim it was set up with very weak jetting to get it through the regs and it was very difficult to get lit up once warm and would kick back very violently if you got it wrong. There was a knack to it for sure (standard and modded). So a tuned the DR650 could be a good buy. I used clutch plates and chains and sprockets but that was it so spares might not be a problem as long as you don't have a Biggy. It was 100% reliable. DR 650's are sooo cheap right now, I'd buy one and make it really evil.
