2012 Suzuki DR650SE reviews

I hadn't seen any reviews of this model since '09. I treated myself to a Christmas present and traded in my '06 Honda 919. That bike had it all, fuel injection, liquid, etc. However, being on the tall side and advanced age of 50+, I wanted to get back to the fun of biking, hence the DR650. Wow, after riding it back from the dealer (and putting the aforementioned 25 miles on it) all I can say is I can't wait until spring. The bike suits me much better - controlled power, much higher riding position, less complicated maintenance, a ton of aftermarket mods and advice, 100 lbs. less weight, more responsive handling, off-road adventure, etc. I finally got back to the fun of riding. I'm happy as a pup with two tails! Show less
