No! That's just my 09 Suzuki DR650, no need to be alarmed.

(it happens to sound exactly like a boat motor when idling... for those that haven't heard a stock DR650).

Sold my 250 a fair bit of time ago to get something more comfortable for my 6'1 self.
Ended up on this dual sport.

As much as I loved my ZZR 250, I couldn't ride it for more then 150 km's at a time without my knees cramping up.
The DR650 has so much more leg room and the fully up right seating position is a welcome change too.

Already had some interesting times on the bike, my first street crash and another crash at a go kart track a mere 4 - 5 days laters.
All together there was really only 100 bucks damage from the two crashes.
Gotta love dual sports!

Onto da pics

Pre-crashes

Having fun at the track

Getting intimate with the asphalt, oooh yeah

Two crashes worth of damage

Pretty much the only damage, aside from a very tiny scratch on the bottom of the right fork and the brake lever (which I just bent back each time).

Once I get some money I'll be pimping this bike out to da max
17" Supermoto wheels, new full exhaust, better carb and many other things to blow my money on.
