I almost bought a Husky too but the distributor up here has no parts in stock. A few friends down in WA state got them and they are great off-road bikes. As a street bike I wouldn't say they are great. I think I will get the 07 KTM EXC when they come out. They should be street legal.
I don't understand why you think the KLX is more "high tech" than the DRZ. They both are over head cam, multi value motors. Both are electric start. The DRZ is a dry sump motor vs. the KLX wet sump (dry sump is more high tech). Those conventional forks are twin camber and 49mm. When Suzuki used them on the RM it was consider the best fork out there. Just because everyone is using USD forks now doesn't mean that those forks are worst than the KLX forks. The 43mm USD on the KLX is a single camber fork and not even close to the forks used on MX bikes. Most importantly the DRZ has a huge aftermarket.
I'm 40 years old and been racing since I was 14 and wrenching since I was 20. I do like both bikes but I just don't understand your statements you make regarding the DRZ. BTW, mods DRZ are making upward of 60hp. I know I might be stepping on people toes here (KLX forum) but I don't like statements that is non-factual.

what i meant was with my modded KLX, it will keep up with a stock 400 i guarantee it. i've ridden both and my KLX rips right now. the article you mention, i didn't even read it cuz i could care, but if some dude says that the old hat DRZ 400 with conventional shocks and 300 lb weight is better than the new Huskys he's smoking crack. now that's laughable. take a look at the new husky dual purpose bikes, they are state of the art. had i done more shopping i may have one of them in my garage instead of the KLX.

Hey. everyone has there own opion. That's why we live in a free country. I'm glad you are enjoying your KLX. I'm enjoy mine too (I ride it when my wife isn't looking). I give you it's a great looking bike (Except for that taillight, which I took care off with a MX fender), but I like the way my DRZ looks too.

I remember when IG got deleted his old posts were read as Guest....Dare I ask who "icantrideabike" or whatever was?? That was a hilarious thread.
I'm glad that IG character is gone...I must point out though this new 09klxowner is much more pleasant. I've actually took in information from this guy [8D]
