Of course I've ridden one and several other enduros. I owned a DRZ400E for several years and it plain sucked as a street bike. Do you claim that your WR is as competent of a street bike as mine? Would you like to take it on a 1,000 mile trip on the freeway? Or that it's as awesome of a dirt bike as a RMZ450 for example? I don't remember anyone riding it in the MX class this year... Maybe I missed that. Right.

And I don't think you care about what I wear when I ride. But only one of us made a post titled, "My girlfriend is a squid"

True, it's supposed to be a joke of sorts... We have a difference of opinion. I think that ANYTHING is better than nothing and you and your boyfriend do not agree with me. Okay. As far as I'm concerned if it keeps the asphalt away from my skin for even 1" during a slide, it was better than nothing.

When did I ever say it was an mx bike? I said it allows me to ride all the pavement on the planet as well as exploring the back woods. Let's see your sportbike do that. It's a much better street bike than the DRZ . . . and a better dirt bike for that matter.

I did 500 miles on it this past weekend. Is that good enough for you?

And about the same mileage last month on a trip.

Sure and it will be a competent street bike but it won't compare to an actual street bike IMHO. Especially a 250 4 stroke, are you kidding me?

The question is, is that good enough for YOU. I don't care what you ride, I don't care what you wear when you ride, I really don't care what you do period. I just wanted to post some pics of my gf and not be told I was stupid for letting her wear jeans when we ride. BTW were you wearing full, armored gear during that 500 mile ride?

Meow! Oh yea hose me down!!! Hey he took it to bikes with the "I wouldn't want to be stuck with just a street bike" crap. Seriously, the guy is riding a WR250 and trying to give ME advice on what gear I should wear... give me a break.

Let's go out in the hall. Oh, look, there's some riding gear. Jacket, pants, and even some riding boots. Helmet and gloves must be in the closet.



Turn around and look out the window . . . hmmm . . .



What's that? A sucky ass street bike . . .



Kinda hard to see and it's only 3 months old, but it's got 3,465 miles on it so far.



I'm glad that YOU like it but that thing has got to blow on the freeway! I mean really, what's top speed 65mph? F-man's scooter would blow that thing away!
