If they are built like my buddy's KTM dirtbike 250 then it'd have shitloads of umph to it. I road an old NX250 that was slow but fun to ride. However, my buddy's 250 is just crazy fast.

For a while I looked at that and thought it was like a gnome with it's mouth open. Or a tree that fell and looked like a gnome.

these are 4 strokes, I haven't ridden the DRZ400 but have ridden the 250's from Kawi and Yamaha. not enough power on the street from my test rides anyway. but then again, I ride an 06 ZX10R and there aren't that many bikes that impress me for grunt.

So you're leaving it dual sport? Interesting.

I'll be getting a DRZ for the street in a couple months. Right now my priorities are elsewhere...
