- If I was looking for a good dirt-worthy DP bike I would go for the Suzuki
- DR350S. The Honda XR250L probably the best DP bike in the dirt. I like the
- extra 100cc that Suzuki has to offer without any weight gain over thier own
- DR250S. Now if you must have that 650cc, get the Honda. It had good reviews
- in Dirt Rider and MXA magazines. It's just heavy compared to the XR600R.
- Clark and IMS both make large capacity tanks for the XR650L.

- Hope this helps,
