Actually found this bike because of a member here.
After months of talking about it....I did it. She joins the Triumph and Shadow.

The Suzuki DR Whether a DR 650 or a DRZ 400 - Great bikes in my opinionI did about 100 miles. While she is buzzy and out in the wind, it is a very comfortable riding position.
Rode near the King Ranch out by a massive wind turbine farm. Some are really close to the road. You can ride right up to them.
It was nice.
Congrats! Great bike! What are the details and any plans for mods?
Tell me about the Cogent stuff please. A friend did the Race Tech mods and it worked very well.Don't forget the seat, Cogent suspension upgrades, and pumper carb!

Nice !!! Pics pls or you know it never happened.
Rick and Todd at Cogent Dynamics in North Carolina are the bomb for DR suspension. Rick designed a custom sick for the bike and drop in "cartridge" valves for the forks. Pair that with the right springs and it's a whole new bike. Rick owns 2 DRs and is the expert on suspension for them.Tell me about the Cogent stuff please.

From the perspective of simply sitting on a bike and going down the road at a steady 65-70 the DR 650 is pretty damned magical. It just feels “right” and I think I understand why people love the seating position on adventure/dual sport bikes.
That must be an '14. I almost traded a Sprint GT for a brand new leftover back in '16(?). It sat unloved on this particular dealer showroom floor for the longest time. Not the most exciting color scheme I suppose. I thought it suited the understated character of the DR650 perfectly.
The bush pig is the kind of bike I just can't stop going back and forth on whether to get one.
