The problem with the DRZ is that it doesn't know its not supposed to be good at everything. So it makes the rider *think* it is good at everything, and that can get a little exciting at times. :) I like riding mine everywhere, and even though I'm not that skilled, it makes all of it fun. I've done a couple hare scrambles, an enduro, and a bit of trail riding, and I look forward to riding it every time I load it in the truck.
The engine is a jewel. Pulls everywhere, sips gas out on the trails, and with the stock muffler core in place, is quiet. I haven't even bothered rejetting. I added a kicker after the battery took a dive during the warranty period, and I think it starts more quickly with the kicker than the button. But I only feel like using the kicker once or twice a day. :)
I like the WRF, but it seems a little more intense than I am probably ready for right now.
