[b]Say "NO" to your abuser[/b]

I finally ended an abusive relationship with a DRZ400S a coupla years back. It's a good street bike, but awful in the tight stuff & deep woods. They love to stall & lock the rear wheel with that big compression right when you need power most, and then slam you down hard. My son still laughs about the time when he was leading me on his TTR-125 deep in the swampy woods of central NH and noticed I wasn't following him. He turned around & found the 'Z on the ground & me hopping around like an elf doing the goddam Black Forest dance..jeezus that steel tank was hard.

I sold it & bought a KDX220, she is sweet, light as a feather, smooth on the bottom like the trials bikes of my youth but with the blast in the middle so I can keep up with the kids on their MX bikes. I'm definitely faster with the DX and it's a lot easier to sling around, and much happier in the gumbo as well. Unless you're >6'4" and 300 lbs you will be very happy with the KDX compared to the Z, hope the mods work for you (mine is crate stock except for the Chase-Harper tool bag).

Good luck!
