Yeah - steel frames are the go - what was I thinking. Still they don't have to be built like the Forth Bridge (See KTM - did I really say that)

DRZ4's have concrete seats and worst of all .... sticky out radiators. My trials bike has a central radiator and if manufacturers thought about tilting the engines backwards (a la new WR - or blow me down - like the rear cylinder of a v-twin) then with a bit of trickery I'm sure our Oriental buddies could engineer a neater solution. The penny will drop one day. Better still - go back to air cooled.... or fuel injected two stroke??????????????

Anyway focus focus focus - I have an XTZ. I have an XTZ. I hav.......
