Took delivery of my new bike on Saturday, been riding it almost non stop since. :D
'09 Suzuki DR650. It may have about the same horsepower as my ZZR-250 but damn is this thing ever faster.
Sure is nice having torque. :p

Almost fully gotten used to the much higher seat height.
Just got to get used to the ultra hard seat and the rear brake...
...as the rear brake likes to lock up real easily.
I've had a few unscheduled drift sessions with the bike because of that already. :p

I'm 100% happy with my choice on going with this bike though.
Seems to be the perfect bike for me.
Can go about anywhere, reliable and cheap to run and me being 6'1 I fit on the bike nicely now.
No more cramped knees!
