Although I don't agree with the riders and it's no doubt unsafe (just like riding a motorcycle). I think this thing is way out of proportion, wheelies become second nature to some. (Again not saying what he did was right.)

Cool bike, I'd also look at a Suzuki SV 650. Love that bike, it sits more like a supersport.

Awesome! Thanks N3wman for the info. That was my next question, and it's already answered. As for the height issue, I stand 5" 8". I've already sat on a stock DRZ SM, I felt comfortable on it. I could put my feet down and almost flat foot it. But, I feel comfortable enough to just keep my right...

I got a gopro haha! If I do get a DRZ I'll defiantly make a video or two.

That's most likely the plan, I'm sure it doesnt take long to switch up a set of tires. I would buy rims and tires because I wouldn't want to scratch up the blue anodized rims on the DRZ. Thanks for the feedback

What the F%#K are you guys talking about? Of all places to post this, you post on a motorcycle forum...sigh. Anyyyyyyyyway, I rode a Ninja 250, I liked it. I own a CBR 250RA, I like it more. Though I like the styling better on the Ninja 250R. Either way, both are good starter bikes and I...

Inverted forks on the SM! I was planning on picking up a pair of dirt tires and rims if I decide to get a DRZ. I'd do about 90% on-road and 10% off road, oh and I'm not talking dirtbiking tracks. But anyway, thank you guys for the all the answers! Much appreciated.

Alright cool, thanks. As for the styling of the bike itself, I'm not one to travel long distances on highways. I'm sure its similar to a small 250, no wind protection at all and you get blown all over the place. The reason I'm liking the enduro/supermoto is: -Off road (not looking for jumps but...

Hey guys, looking at getting a DRZ 400SM. This bike would be my commuter bike, which means I'd be riding to work at 7:00 AM as well riding all the way up until December (or whenever it's unsafe to ride). My main concern is the bike being a carbureted bike. Anyone got some input with this bike? I...

Do it on Yonge ST in Aurora all the time, I putter along in first covering the brake. I've had a few try to block me in but I just go on my way but very cautiously.

I always sit on my bike with the kickstand down, and I've never had a problem with the attendants. If I ever did, that's one gas station that wouldn't get my $10.00 every time I filled up LOL :D!

I was the exact same way! The first time I got my wheel off the ground, it felt like I was at 12 O'clock already. Until I looked at the footage later at night and realised I only had gotten an inch or two off the ground LOL! Keep practising and go slow, watch youtube videos and see how they do...

First, yes, but Saturday will be very overwhelming if you've never learned clutch or ridden a bike before. Secondly, speaking from experience, I own a 250 and have 8000 km's on it. I got the opportunity to ride a ZX6R and an R6 this year and I had no problem adjusting to it. Though, I wouldn't...

He's not a smartass, just a young well-spoken kid who knew something wasn't right.

Pretty badass, that is all.

I would suggest not learning wheelies on a brand new bike if you're worried about dropping it, it's the risk you have to be willing to take. Though I have never dropped mine (going to jynx myself now) but it's a risk I take. I may get flamed from all the stunters on here but I started learning...

+1 forgot to mention that about this bike, I skim through the Honda forums sometimes and it's flooded with this issue. A lot of people are frustrated with their CBR 250R, and Honda apparently hasn't done squat for them.

If you can, just walk the bike to the parking lot. I did this with a little RM 80 and rode in an empty parking lot, had no trouble.

Well there is a big ocean of bikes, you can't go wrong with a 125 or a 250. Telling ya, just buy a used bike and ride it for a season then resell it.

Ride around Newmarket/Aurora area all the time, I was thinking of getting a FZ6R- It's a solid looking bike and pretty low to the ground, as well, it's more of a sport tourer so it's an upright position.
