I got my DR250 on Ebay. Somehow the bike feels and handles like a full size bike with the standard 18 rear and a 21 front.

I got my DR250 on Ebay. Somehow the bike feels and handles like a full size bike with the standard 18 rear and a 21 front. The rear suspension is on the soft side for me but that's okay if your not charging too hard on those trails. For street use it's like riding on clouds. Reliability is great when I rode in a full downpour and muddy situation at that. But overall this bike makes you feel great. Fuel economy is great and like it could last forever.

I have had this bike for a little over 1/2 a year now. I bought it in Iowa and drove it all the way to Albuquerque in 2 days (long story). The trip was a little over 1000 miles. After all that riding I didn't have any pain at all. It is so comfortable. I've had it to about 150mph on the speedometer. Handling is a little off, due to the small rear tire (150). If you get on it too hard leaving a turn with cold tires it WILL FISH TAIL, and the hook up into a wheelie. Wheelies are easy with a fast shift into 2nd or a little clutch. Motor is noisy, as with all Katanas of this generation. This bike will hang with my friends GSXR600 (1998). Great bike for large riders. Has tons of torque, not peaky.

I own a 1994 DR250SE. I have had it for eight months and have put almost 2000 miles on it. It is the perfect bike for me. It goes strong on and off the road. I bought it from my friend who was forced to sell it after being pulled over by a cop with no license and not to mention doing 90 mph. I live near a creek with jumps and whoop de doos and it handles them perfect. Even with balding dual purpose tires it still goes great in deep sand and while I cross the creek,(I don't know how they got bald!). I ride it to school every day. I'm the only kid who rides a motorcycle to school. I don't know how fast I've ever gone on it because when I'm racing my friend I never seem to look at my speedometer. My friend has a Honda 250 which has been bored out to a 300. We race all the time and I've never been beat. All he can say is "Damn! I was doing 80 or more and you just kept pulling away from me!" As you can tell it has too much power for my hands. I don't think I'm ever going to sell this bike. In fact if they didn't stop making the d/p 250'S out here I would've bought another.

I bought the bike used with only 767 miles on it. It looked brand new. I got it home and the carb overflow kept leaking all the gas out of the gas tank so i got the carb rebuilt and problem fixed. I've had no problems with it since and I ride it everyday except for when it rains. It's very reliable and easily controllable on the trails. My only complaint with it is that it's not very fast but I guess its o.k. for only being a 125.

o doubt this is a very cool, aerodynamic bike. Even the first design was 12 year ago from now (1989), the look is pretty much updated and doesn't look old at all. With a bit of modification, you can get yourself a very unique bike without trading in your car. Performance is good, at least I don't think most of the people can use up it's full power (max output at 6000-8000 RPM). It's good enough for day in day out occasionally aggressive driving. And you won't lose a street with the big boys. Down side is this bike is kinda rough riding. Idling is rough and the ride is not as smooth (may be it's old). But definitely a good bike to have and still more fun to drive than most of the bike. Since I have this bike, my one year old cruiser is sitting in the garage crying for attention.

My 1994 DR250SER four-stroke is the first motorcycle I ever bought. Having spent most of my youth riding BMX and mountain bikes I immediately took to the trails where I began my 6 year (and counting) legacy of thrashing and crashing about 1000 miles each year. The bike is still basically stock and just keeps on going..................Damage report: One minor tear in the seat (day one - cheap boots), Crushed my head light once. Ripped a foot-peg off by trying to clear a double (where the second jump was like a table-top) and cased it bad. I broke the two bolts that hold the peg on because I let the bolts get loose. Finished the trip down the mountain with my brake foot on the buddy peg. Spooky. that's about it other than general maintenance. All of those repairs were relatively inexpensive..................Yes the bike is slightly under powered, but on the North Carolina trails that we ride on, they have been known to dominate..................Of course the ability to hop on at the camp site and go on a supply/gas run is extra cool. Not to mention the ability to ride the bike on the streets and park roads from trail system to trail system...................................Top Speed = 87 MPH (190 lb rider)..... Range(approx.)= 80 miles off road, 175 miles highway

I bought this small dual-purpose used a year ago as a mean of daily transportation to work and occasional outings in the countryside. I wanted to get something economical to licence and insure. I must say it met my criteria and it's really cheap on gas too, it averages 65 miles per gallon. The DR125 is really easy to handle. It's a good starter bike and great in traffic. It's reliable, I've had no mechanical problems so far. The odometer displays 5500 miles. Maintenance is also simple for an average motorcyclist with no special mechanical training. On the downside, I wish it could be equipped with a kick starter (only an electic starter is fitted) and a tachometer. It also lacks power on open roads, especially if you face the wind. It can however maintain a cruising speed of around 60 mph (relying on the speedometer) if you twist the handle hard enough. The sixth gear is also a little useless, but with a back wind it's nice to have as it will help you increase the speed by maybe 10 mph.
