I haven't really looked into parts costs but the tech seems pretty straightforward on the 650 - is it a moneypit to put this one back on the road, or relatively frugal?

Re: WANTED DR650
Sorry Brenhden - I got my mitts on this one, although looking again I reckon all it needs is a jetwash and a new back tyre and it's good to go

I'd like to do a lot more work on my AT over winter, but funds dictate otherwise (new rear shocker, and new countershaft) so a work in progress that I can start on the affordable bits first would be nice And... I always wanted a DR650

if the mileage is to be believed on this you need to run as fast as you can to the sellers door, just seen it come up for sale.
Same model as mine and looks pretty tidy..........

Re: WANTED DR650
i phoned up about the DR650 this morn....it was sold.
The chap told me it was an American import that he had sold to someone a year ago, bought it back, then sold it again.
Herman: thanks for the offer, very kind.
