Message: [QUOTE="rhansen, post: 1250476, member: 81966"] I bought the DRZ new last September, and it's really been a practical bike for the last 4000 miles. I'll ride 30 miles to the trails, ride 50 miles of trails, and ride the 30 miles back. She's always gotten me home. Like you said...If you stall it in first gear and can't get a good footing, then you're going down. Luckily, with the lower corbin seat, I'm able to catch it much easier than with the stock seat. I'll go for a month without going down, and then I'll go down twice in a day. Both me and the bike have faired very well. Most of the time, I'm already on my feet by the time the bike hits the ground. A $20 front fender, new handguard shields, and she looks almost as good as new. The only thing I've absolutely had to replace were the stock bars after I bent them. She really is one tough b**ch. So you think the lighter weight of the KDX will be very noticeable? [/QUOTE]
