Another Aussie

[lurch]

G'day there are a few of us here in SE Qld - mostly around Brissie / sunshine coast though I think.

Always wanted a kitted DR650 too but I think I'm getting too old and would probably do myself some damage...

Is that a blue Val in the background?

The blue Val is my AP5. Poor thing has a couple too many wheels for me so very rarely gets used and needs to be sold when the market improves.

The DR is one bike I can't see ever being sold. I have a Husky 701 with all the bells and whistles that is a much better performing bike but I still regularly choose to ride the DR, and it gives me a smile every time. The DR does have thoroughly sorted suspension, high comp piston, big valve head etc however so that probably helps.

Ive said b4, DR in our twistys rules, grippy tyres , shows up the racer types on Panigale etc. He has so much fun giving it to them. They hate been passed by a cow chaser

No point in telling you, it's not a Suzuki.

It's a Mash 650 (French company, Chinese built) - https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/mash/x-ride-classic-650/2020/
