It's just as hard on your ass as a dual sported DRZ.  Lol   Did a couple hundred miles today and I don't want to sit down!

Aside from that it's a lot of fun. Not quite as much grunt as my old CRF but it has more then the DRZ for sure. It feels a little more sure footed on the road then the DRZ as well, which I guess stands to reason with the better suspension components. Didn't really give it much of an off road test since we were only hitting dirt roads. Can't wait to get the KTM next week and see how it compares.  Thumbsup

I didn't have any problems with the seat on my Wr426. I just wanted a slightly bigger engine for the road thatn the WR had to offer (and electric start, kicking it wasn't bad except all the people I rode with had e-start and had to wait for me all the time).

...I still miss that bike.  Sad

I hear ya, these tempermental thumpers are no fun to struggle with kick starting. I hate the weight that the E button adds, but fighting that weight can wear you out a lot less then fighting that kick start.  Lol
