My current bike is a DRZ400SM, how does the low speed fuelling compare with that? Also, being heavier than the DRZ, does the extra 12 BHP or so really make much difference? I'm hoping that it's a little more long legged than the Drizzle and not such a drag on runs out. I've been riding off and on for 30 odd years and in the last year I gave up all the big four cylinder stuff for a slightly less frantic existance, always likes the 'moto' look but the DRZ is a little too slow for me - just need a bit more go. Would appreciate some opinions buy close of play Sunday as I need to make a decision on Monday - thanks all

ok...i also had a DRZ..A really nice bike. The DRZ is more "offroad" orientated, but in the same, opposite, way the XT is "road" orientated. Both are good bikes in my book anyway.
and I know a really good trimmers in Oxsted, for your seat. !!!
The XT is the bike for you. FAR better, as a .."easier -to -live -with" bike.
