Ok here goes,
Was at Chapparall the other day and saw that they had there DRZ`s on sale for $4299.00, so its about 5000.00 out the door.
A YZ-426 is about 6400.00 OTD.
So keeping in mind the differeance in price, would the DRZ make a good Offroad race bike? I live in good ol Socal so I would need a pipe that has a sparkarrester any way, so the cost of a pipe would apply to both, as well as suspension work as I weigh 265# and ride pretty fast.
So with the Differance in price can it be made competitive.
Does anybody have the Yosh. engine mods?
The main reason for this change is that I feel I need a bigger RACE bike than my 250F at some of the more wide open events.
I still love my 250F, its probably the most FUN bike I have ever owned.
Plus Suzuki pays a lot more contenginze money than Yam. $400.00 for a race win, compared to $100.00 to$200.00 for Yam. depending on the series. So this season alone I would have got about $1500.00 from Suzuki.
If the bike will place as good as my 250f has.
thanks mxbundy
