Hey all, so I'm about to get my license and first bike. I want a dual sport but a supermoto might be more suitable for my uses, as i'll be riding mostly street with some off road riding the occasional weekend.
I've basically had my mind up for a long time on a drz400sm. I've spent lots of time this winter lurking thumpertalk drz forum basically obsessing about this dsmn bike. Lol
Anyways, my buddy just found me a 2006 klx250 for so cheap and very few kms that I'm now wondering, do I just pickup the klx as my first bike and upgrade to drz next year? Or do I say **** it and get what I want this year?
I'm sure the klx is a great bike but I'm concerned about the power, or lack of it since I do live right off the hwy. The klx is only 30lbs lighter than drz but about 10 fewer HP. Also, I'm 6'4" 205 lbs.
Anyone have experience with these bikes and can steer me in the right direction? I understand its a decision only I can make and my gut says just get the drz but my wallet says get the klx..
Thanks
