I’ve had both, DRZ many years ago, and have several KYM’s. DRZ is much more economical and less maintenance and a great entry level to experienced level SM bike. KTMs are more expensive to purchase and much less forgiving maintaince wise but higher performance fun factor. This my 3rd KTM, current bike Super Duke 1290.Alright @haknslash I'm going to get my self a bike to super moto out what are your thoughts on the DRZ and the KTM you had?
Thanks @Rod5 I realize there is a major service interval difference between the two especially with the KTM needing valve checks more often. My current bike is a Ducati 848 EVO so I'm no stranger to the higher cost of ownership so my question would be is the higher cost of owner ship worth to go with the KTM 530 EXC over a DRZ 400? I really do not ride a ton but want to have fun while I'm out there and these super motos look like a blast to have. I have owned many street bikes over the years and doing 100 mph + isn't really my thing anymore but being able to hit the road straight hooligan style and turn right off and hit a trail for the hell of it does sound fun.I’ve had both, DRZ many years ago, and have several KYM’s.
