I bought this a month or so ago and am not falling in love with it quite like I'd hoped. It's a fine motorcycle, not a thing wrong with it, I just don't particularly want it as badly as I did before I bought it. I'm sure some of you fellow bike whores can appreciate those feelings.

2002 Suzuki DR650S

5700 miles and counting

Upgrades include:

IMS 4.9 gallon natural color tank (OEM tank and petcock included)

Renthal 7/8 aluminum bars

TPI 2" bar risers

14-T front sprocket (OEM 15-T included)

Moose rear fender bag

Moose air filter

Chain roller removed

Safety switches removed

New Yamaha WR 250 R mirrors (OEM ones available for swap out if you want)

New Yamaha WR 250 R starter button and kill switch (more tucked away than the OEM unit)

Acerbis Rally Pro II handguards

Utah / Ricochet skidplate

TPI magnetic drain plug

TPI rear brake master cyclinder guard

IMS Super Stock pegs

Headlight off switch

SAE / Battery Tender connector

Newer battery

Newer oil and filter (at 4700 miles)

Brand new Cheng Shin 858 tires and tubes

Carb air / fuel mix plug drilled out, screw set to 2 turns out; needle shimmed with 1 #4 washer, snorkle removed

2 keys

Box of some OEM and takeoff parts

ADV stickers, including the very rare Ohio ADV sticker! :lol3

Ohio title in hand, Ohio registration through December 2009, WV inspection through 2010.

The bike runs and looks cherry. There are some scrapes on the right side barkbuster from a drop done by the previous owner. No other damage. Mechanically sound. Starts like right now, and pulls like a freight train.

I'm in central Ohio, 40 miles north of Columbus. I'm happy to deliver it to 100 miles for free, and would go beyond that up to about 400 miles one way for a mileage based fee.

$3000 The only trades I'm interested in involve those with Benjamin Franklin, Ulysses Grant, and other distinguished dead Americans.

Below photos were taken 9-30-09, the bike was ridden in a light rain earlier today and some road dirt is visible on the DR. Sorry. It got way to cold to clean it before the pictures were taken.

Thanks! -Mark

How would it compare to a KTM 525 EXC, for example, oh sage of dirty things?

Depends what you wanna do.

If you want to saddle up and ride the TAT, DR wins.

If you want to tackle some nasty single track, Katoom wins.

If you want a great do-it-all bike with a decent maintenance schedule, DR wins.

In the world of 650-class dual sports, from dirty to most streety, the list goes:

Husky TE610

XR650L

DR650

KLR650

It's a little lighter than a KLR, a lot more reliable (no doohickey, air cooled), less wind protection, but otherwise in the same general class.

It is not a "street legal dirtbike". It's a dual sport.

Surely someone wants to buy this thing?

If anyone wants a street oriented ride and doesn't want the off road add ons, I would be willing to defarkle it and return it to factory specs, and drop the price significantly to account for that.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the ability to motard the DR yet. Especially all the people whinning about how they want a motard.

Here's an example I found online of a 03 converted motard.
