DR’s are great for what they do. Rock solid with good low grunt. I have a Husky 701 that smokes my buddies DR in a drag or on pavement but on tougher stuff the advantage mostly goes away. (Though the DR could use a good diet for the sand).

I love the GS for fire roads and Baja trip but a pain to change out tires for the rough stuff so i mainly ride the mountains roads with the 13 but anything really off road its the lighter bike.
Yeah she's a pig alright, I made a few mods to that effect, 40FO muffler replaced stock and it's still a Suzuki can save 11 lbs at least and replaced the lead acid with a much lighter lithium. Probably shaved off a good 30lbs over all.

Also changed shock valving and springs, lighter seat etc...

Bought this as my retirement from the army gift. I’m definitely a senior citizen and I’ve ridden it every spring, summer, and fall since I’ve had it!
