The Betas look nice. Local shop sells them, need longer legs to straddle one.

Funny how the Honda XR650L looks unchanged since it first came out.

Guess I could say that about the Suzuki DR650, which has remained virtually unchanged since '96.

Picked up a '14 DR650 last week.....

"Betas look nice. Local shop sells them, need longer legs to straddle one." Same goes for KTM, have to be tall like rushes or yamafitter to mount Pumpkins!

Thanks for this Don! I recently purchased a 2010 DR650 and my riding buds are looking in the off road direction as well. I haven't got room for two bikes so the FJR is on the block. We're hoping to get geared up and farkled up to see a lot of dirt between here in the Okanagan and the Mexican border. At 65 it's exciting to find a new adventure!

jmgrif: Even though I can no longer ride dirt, I still love getting off road in my Jeep. Four of the Gentlemen that rode off road to Huasteca, Mexico with your fellow Canadian yamafitter-Billy Fitz, Brian Boles/Barry McRary/Bob Little/Darrell Wells, are discussing a Baja Expedition next Spring! You are Invited, eh!

I'd be the support vehicle in my Liberty Diesel: Carrying supplies, spares, gear bags, air compressor and tool boxes! https://littlebobandfriends.com/journeys/huesteca-2015.html

I'd be the camp bitch in my Liberty Diesel: Carrying tequila supplies, spare tequila, gear bags with tequila, an air compressor loaded with tequila, and tool boxes full of tequila! https://littlebobandfriends.com/journeys/huesteca-2015.html

Adjusted for accuracy...........

Don't forget Pterodactyl, if Fitkowski comes along I will have to pack a case of Forty Creek Whisky eh! JSNS, Canuck Hoser Drunkard eh!

Don!!! You need to quit being a pussy pesimist and work on a positive attitude. Lot of folks have come back from injury. Start lifting beer stiens with that right arm instead of personal parts. It's not as big as you think. For dual sport drink with the right and masturbate with the left. If you can switch hands and gain a stroke you're getting there.

That Husky 701 has my britches tight. If that subframe will support some baggage the only other issue would be fuel capacity. I can live with 175 miles but 200-250 would be better.

Keep me in the loop for Baja. I might need a ride to break in my new 2016 WR450F....

Will do Billy Fitz, but if a drop of rain falls on us: Then someone in this group is going to kick your butt, or everybody is going to do it! JSNS, muy Peligro ese!

I'm having RIDICULOUS fun on my '09 DR650 I got back in Aug.! FJR + DR = life is good.

 

[HotRodZilla]

On the KTM on Kane Creek Trail today. It was a wet mess that was a blast.

Bikes are dirty...

^^^^^Way Cool AJ, Thank You! JSNS, Dirty!^^^^^

Sweet, my '09 is black instead of gray but even the decals are the same! I put Cogent DDC's and Eibach .48 springs in the fork. For $275 it is an amazing upgrade, now I need to save up $600 for the Cogent Mojave shock! Have a blast!
