HI all i passed my learners with flying colors Tuesday arvo so i was pretty stoked considering i was nervous as hell for the assessment part of the course :s.

well after looking at a few different bike from cbr250rr to er5 to gpx250 and drz400sm, i have to say i felt most comfortable on the drz due to the size and also performance as i am 6ft2ish, and my elbows were almost touching my knees on the cbr lol.

so within the next week i am going to be picking up a brand spanking new one hopefully cos i haven't seen any second hand in SA. so i was just wandering where i would be able to find after market parts like indicators and rear brake lights etc, doesn't bother me if i need to buy them of the net either but preferably from Australian sites though as the factory ones are pretty bland.

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

That French dude should be able to help. I would assume.

Anywhere, go to your local dealer or buy of the net?



Im not french

^^^see mingay was right...... beginners bike!

"Its not the bike its the rider."


"Its not the power its how you use it"


"Excuse my french but you can all suck on my balls"


Mingay is right tho DRZ's are the best beginner bikes ever!

yeah he is right especially if you read the pm he sent me bwahahahahaahhaa il show ya next time your on msn.... oh so true..........

i was after one but a bike mechanic told me they were shit, had bad jetting or factory power etc, and said to get the DRZ400E and convert it to motard if thats what i was after...
was he right?

well after looking through the trader i found a 2004 yamaha xt660x motard with 9700k's on the clock for on 6k so i snapped it up and pick it up tuesday

Yes and no, Its far eaiser to get the SM up to the level of the E power wise, But alot more expensive to get the E up to the level of the SM suspension and braking wise.
