Same motor on the Enduro model, but with less weight and better suspension. Tami-

No you aren't! Although, you *are* dating Jeff...hmm... > I realized my mistake later and meant to say > something about needing lessons on how to read text based forum > posts. Hey, don't feel bad; turns out we *both* got it wrong<G> I didn't even know who the hell I was quoting! I found RMD before almost anything else on the internets (I was a late bloomer) so it just seems normal to me, but I would imagine it would look kinda weird and not be too user friendly if someone were used to all that techno-slickery of ADV and such. > I'll go crawl back out to the garage now...need to swap out > front tube. Hey, while you're at it I need a new front tire on my KTM, `kay? <snicker!> Tami-

If you go with a DR650, lace your rear hub >to an 18" rim. Still stuck on the DR as of today - it's cheap, what the hell... - but total cost is going to be a consideration. New ones are under $6K. Two year old ones are advertised in the $3500 range. >> And I guess I always preferred the Enduro to the Adventure. �And >> by always, I mean for the last 48 hours.- Hide quoted text - > >Hey, 48 hours can be a really long time. >The enduro models are a lot cheaper than the Adv model, even though >they're harder to find. Same motor on the Enduro model, but with less >weight and better suspension. BUT - what do you get on the ADV? More oil capacity for longer range between changes, etc. Seems like the book is out on some of the models, but others are well regarded. |
