Subject: (dr350) I need a DRZ400!

My wife and I are gonna sell all our older bike and get new ones. I hope to
get the new DRZ400 :). If any one on the list is interested here they are.

1997 XR200 Bought new in 98. Very low hours. Wife ridden. Baja head light

        added.   $2,500 .

1995 Suzuki DR350S Bought new in 96. Estimated hours, less than 200. Big
        Gun exhaust. K&N filter. Pro Taper bars. Bark busters.  $2,100.00

1990 Husqvarna WXE 510. Cosmetically descent. Runs great. Could use fork
        seals. This bike will pull stumps!  $1,500.00

1986 Honda Night Hawk 700. Looks very clean. Low miles. Runs strong but
        could use carb clean and balance.  $1,700.00

1986 Suzuki DR100  Looks are average. Runs good but could stand some carb
         work.  $500.00


We would also consider a trade on a 96 or newer KX 100 or KX 80 big wheel. If
anyone is interested please E-mail us at [e-mail].

Subject: Re: (dr350) I need a DRZ400!

I would not get your hopes up for getting a DRZ400 soon, I think they will
be in the same boat as the Yamaha YZ/WR400.  The dealers will only get a few
for the first year, so they will all be pre-ordered for a cost that is over
the sticker price.  I did sit on the DRZ400 at the Del Mar Motorcycle show's
Suzuki booth.  It was nice, has better ergonomics than the DR350, and seemed
lighter than my TTR-250.  (I guess that's all I can say about, since I only
got to sit on it.)  I would not mind getting one a few years from now.  I
would lace up some 17" wheels, and bolt on a over-size Brembo disk and
caliper, for a slick looking super motard bike.

 Hi,

 I'm looking for a stock airbox for a 1995 DR350 dirt only version. Does
anybody who went aftermarket want to sell theirs?

Thanks,

Frank

From: Keith Browning <[e-mail]>
Subject: RE: (dr350) HI, brief introduction

Joe:
   The IRC GP 110 tire is a pretty good all-around tire.  It is better than
the stock tire both off-road and on.  It really shines on the street, but does
OK off-road.  Actually, it does pretty well off-road, as long as it stays dry.
 As soon as things get slick, it's pretty scary off-road.
  Another tire I have run on my DR is the Kenda Trackmaster II.  They work
very well off-road, and do OK on the street; except that:
1. They take a LONG time to break in. Until then, they are very slippery on
the road.
2. Even after they are broken in, they are scary on a wet road.
3. On a dry road, properly broken in, they work well, but feel funny - it
doesn't inspire confidence.
   Most likely, these two tires are at opposite ends of the bias spectrum, ie.
the GP110 would be 70/30 on/off road, and the Kenda 30/70 on/off.  There are
other tires closer to the middle of the spectrum.  I all depends on where you
are going to be riding it most of the time.
  One nice thing about both of the above tires is they are cheap, less than
$100 per set.
