DRZ versus WRR
I have an '08 WR250R and a '08 DR650SE.
I like both bikes for what they are but the DRZ has me curious. What I'd like to have in the WRR is more low end pull. What I'd like to have in the DR650...

Thanks again for the info,
If you decide to sell the Alt Rider plate drop me a PM. Even though it does mount to the engine, it looks like it would work for what I'm doing with the bike.
