The Bikes

After miles of experiment we’ve hastened to Suzuki DR650s. 4 of them! The bulletproof engine is air cooled, carburettor aspirated with the clincher of minimal electronic trickery (eat your heart out KTM!) An honest Single that weighs under 150 kgs at birth with two initial defects: a measly 13 litre tank and a seat designed by The Inquisition.  But this timeless steed is spoiled with after-market options and ours have been adorned with 20L Acerbis tanks, roomy Nelson Riggs adventure luggage, fetching ProCycle gel seats and a few inevitable details like bash plates.  Our most luxurious farkle has to be the Koako cruise controllers for hands-free stunt riding.
