Both the above bikes are already out. SMC came out a few months back, the SMR was out around May 08.
Yamaha now has a WR125X but it doesnt look like its coming to NA.
Yes it looks like the DRZ will never change. The 09 arrived at dealers about a month ago.
Changes to the Husky SMR and the Aprilia SXV? Not out yet.
The RXV is out and looks to have a few changes that might make it over to the SXV. The biggest is the 4 and a half lbs weight loss.
Steve you must have a desk job or something to dig up all that info...haha
any luck selling your bike? send me an email with your number...I may know someone who might be interested.
so, what are you gonna get now? Honda 450? I have decided a 7000.00 roof for our house had to come first...(or should I say my wife decided) LOL:laughing
Zoltan with this rain you made the right decision...and Steve...congrats on the sale and now you must search...good luck...I know where you can get a low hour KTM
i like the first one. the second one looks like it drunk too much and now it needs to pee the men's way.
the 09 drz is already out, no changes whatsoever. and that's ok with me. if it ain't broken why fix it? as much as i like the drz i wish more manufacturers would come out with tards - reliable tards
Even in dirt trim the honda appears to come with an invisible fat man sitting on it. When the big four come out with something bigger than a 250 I think they might catch onto the interest the DRZ400SM has. Personally the idea of trading my FZ6 for a motard is more and more appealing even though I already have a DR350S dual sport.
Black makes bikes look fat. Frames more than bodywork. Bet either of them would look sweeter with a better colour scheme.
Start chopping the bodywork and ditching some of the big and ugly OEM parts (signals, mufflers, tail light assembly) and a motard might appear. Use your imagination boys and girls.

i would have to disagree. black makes things look slimmer. you know what they say if you want to hide your body "imperfections" - wear black. i looked at couple exactly the same bikes, one black the other white. the black looked slim and light, the white looked heavy.
hey Kev, that pic you posted is a 660? Looks very cooool!:rockon
The yamaha looks cool but it's only a 250,even a DRZ with a good rider would run circles around it,and it's an old design.
go big or go home,KTM's are cool but too pricy ,and what's with the peterbuilt stacks?Never riden with one but they look really heavy.
Converted mx bkies are very fast an light but they don't make very good real word bikes.
All motards are cool but it comes down to what kind of riding do you want to do?:cheers :cheers
