Suzuki DR description
This is my Dr650 for sale. I have a daughter being born soon and I know for sure I won't have time to ride so the bike has to go. This is a no reserve auction and i will honor whatever it goes for.
I have made many upgrades to the bike since I have owned it Ricor intimators and progressive rate springs in front suspension Ricor rear shock and heavier spring up to 275lbs between rider and rear Mikuni TM40 pumper carburetor Sargent seat Warp 9 shifter Aluminum billet rear rack Stainless steel engine gaurds Aluminum skid plate 14 tooth front sprocket IMS 4.9 gallon tank Handlebar gaurds Aluminum handlbars Avon gripster tries New YUSA battery Im sure I'm forgetting something I've added but those are the major items. The new suspension and pumper carb have really made this bike quite fun to ride. All parts were purchased new from procycle.com and i'm actually afraid to add up what I have spent on the bike but it's defiantly over $2000. The condition of the bike is good. The plastics are all in good shape with no major gouges or cracks but normal for a bike 5 years old that is a dual sport. The tires have a good amount a tread left on them. The frame is strait and nothing bent or out of alignment. I have the original fender and fairing in gray that is included. Now for the bad. I haven't really had to bike out much in the last year and upon getting ready to sell this bike it does't want to crank as well as it should. I installed a new battery and it has improved it but it still remember it starting a bit easier. I can get it started and it runs great but I don't have the time to explore why. It might be valves tight, or just needs the carb cleaned or something but I'm letting you know now. Also, the previous owner said they had an electrical short and replaced the wiring harness with another one from a dr650. He also added a different kill switch with a headlight off switch so he could turn on the headlights and added headlight relays.If I were going to keep the bike I would probably do a better job at tidying up the wiring and either double checking or removing some of what he has done. It hasn't bothered me enough to do it myself yet but again, I'm just giving you fair warning. If you have any questions hopefully I can help. Thanks for looking |

Moto3. Recession racers?
Mon, 08 Nov 2010I've sat through enough manufacturer' presentations recently to know that we're in trouble. Ignoring the still booming Asian markets, the rest of the motorcycle World is in free-fall. Even looking at the figures optimistically we're still only selling half the volumes we were in pre-crash 2006.
Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box
Mon, 10 Dec 2012A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show. On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca. With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem. When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season. We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
