DR650 supermoto ?

[C~Style]

Not many have done a tarded DR or a tarded Killer
They're great big heavy undersuspended bikes with neither any power or brakes.

A decent running Z will run away from those 650's. Yea they have fun lower rpm torque, but hell so does an M1-A1 Abrams.

from those, yes.. from the Xrr's that honda puts out... not so much :P
(hense the reason i'm jonsin' fer one so bad :P)... it puts out as much as a BUILT drz, and weighs about the same or less... STOCK, now think about what happens when you put all the gofast bits on it...


can't wait!

Scott:: only in the straightaway?? well maybe due to my lack of experience, however.. i'm pretty sure that you were huffin Ryan's fumes with me most if not all of the day that we were out together..... hell it was ONLY me/jess/ryan at one point in the fast group...... butcha did bang yer knee... :\

i mean, if it will hands down win most, if not all (iirc) of the shit condition desert and baha racing it was put in, i think its good enough for my hooligan and transport duties.

Is that rhino liner on tank???

[SMGranny]

On SMJ there are a few whom have converted they're 650's.....I just don't get it with that bike........it's still air cooled

[PBMW]

It's not the air cooled that's the problem. Yea, they are very capable bikes. Just a bit dated.
And heavy...
and ...they don't make much power.

So...............since our bikes are known as Pigs.......does that mean the DR650's are Cows ????? ..............Mooooooooooo

The air cooled, iron sleeved, R.F.V.C. heads...................

[PeteN95]

Hondas have RFVC (Radial Four Valve Combustion chamber) heads, the DR650 is a standard pentroof 4 valve head. It also makes more power than an XRL or KLR, but they are pretty heavy and low, especially if you do the SM thing. I think they could be hotted up a little, but air cooling has it's limits. And no comparison to my XRR!

My KLR should be mid 80's H.P. when finished. But it has had many thousands of $$ thrown at it and nothing in it or on the engine is stock. The oil pump is externally exh. cam driven, ignition system is all M.S.D. automotive modified at the factory in El Paso Texas for use with the engine. Its also converted to dry sump. The rest is just another novel.

I'd be interested in seein what's in the basement of that motor...
