Suz DRZ400 of Husky 610

[97 moto]

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with either one of these bikes. I am wondering about power output, handling and reliability. I am looking at both of these bike and plan on converitng the dirt models to a dualsport for enduros and possible commutes to work.
Thanks for any input

Husky parts are a little funky right now with then piaggio buy out.
Backordered parts are tending to stay that way and that is enough to spook me from buying that tasty wr250husky in the window of my wives workplace...

I gotta DRZ and I street legalized it. It is a nice bike. More than enough power than I usually need and the suspension is sooooooo plush....mmmm.....I had the clickers opposite of maxed out today, twas like riding on a freshly paved road. Needs work with the big jumps, but I don't ride that anyhow. Not very sluggish now either, dynoed at 44.5 hp. :)

BTW, it really doesn't feel like 270lbs (until you gotta pick it up after a day of riding.)
