Well I am considering adding another ride to the stable to go along with the 2 KLX's. I'm leaning toward the DR-Z400 kicker. My questions are as follows:
1. How is the handling in the tight stuff compared to the KLX? Has
anyone ridden both?
2 How is the power of the stock DRZ compared to the KLX with
all of the free mods? Are there free mods for the DRZ?
3. I never read anything negative about the DRZ. Are these bikes
that reliable?
I've just read the post about the E start vs. the kicker and am leaning toward the kicker based on how easy it is to start and the weight savings. My riding buddy has a KTM520 with both and when we switch rides I only us the kicker. It has always started on the first kick. Is the DRZ this easy? 2001 models are seling for $4,995 out the door so it seems like the time to buy. Thanks for any info that you can provide.
