The good ol’ DR650!
This bike has been around quite a while, and with very good reason. It’s totally reliable, inexpensive and offers what seems impossible versatility. Want a great, smooth commuter with enough stomp to blast past B-doubles on the freeway? Get a DR650.
A trailbike with good road capability? DR650. Flat-tracker? Long-distance adventurer? Simpson-crossing bike? A solid starting point to build the bike of your dreams? The DR650 can be all these things. It’s a diamond in the rough – except the standard bike isn’t all that rough at all. If anything, it’s a smoothie that’s waiting for an owner to buff up the final polish to suit what he’s chasing.
