As long as you have the wheaties to pick up the bike after you drop it 3-4 times like you did on the last ride, everything will be OK! RM

In regards to the comparison of these three bikes I've seen here,thought I would add my experience with one of them. The XR650R. Iwas one of the first in my area to own one of these, and had problemswith it since day one. Despite jetting changes, of which I mademany!, this bike would never idle cold. Had to stay glued to thethrottle until warmed up. Also had countless boilovers if the bikesat idling warm longer than four or five minutes. (No fan onradiator) This would be a disaster at a long red light. Concerningthe hop-up kit for this bike, although it added more power I couldnever zero in on the correct jetting. Result--lumpy idle, flat spots and/or hesitation. I'd definitely opt for the Suzuki. Electricstart, radiator fan and a full choke circuit. If you check out theXR650 egroup you will see I tell the truth. Dan
