Gonna have to wait till i get home to post up on this one...It may take a while!
I really like that DRZ.....I am wanting the Black SM model.
I've got a WR250X, what a fricken fun ride. I've had a couple of sportbikes, quite a few dirtbikes, a quad I built for MX, and a couple of full mod scooters. Before the Supermoto bike, the funnest bike I had owned was one of the scooters. I always have a grin on my face with that thing. I still miss my old SRAD GSX-R 750, but I'm positive a sportbike was going to but me in the grave. I started doing a handfull of trackdays, and really started learning how to push it. Then I started doing that **** on the street. Recipe for disaster: take 1 curvy road, add 3/4 of a litre, add a pinch of skill, bring tires to a boil, and throw a dog/deer/minivan in front of it.
My pick up at Lake Mcconaughy Labor Day weekend last year. 01' Cummins, 6spd, Edge comp, MBRP 5" exhaust, cold air intake, FASS pump, Southbend clutch.
The only thing I really want to do it is add a programer and stack it with the control box, a set of mild injectors, and a new intake manifold. I should be about 400hp, and 900ft/lbs of torque at the ground, any more than that and it starts getting expensive.
haha awesome video. There is absolutely nothing more fun on two wheels than a supermoto bike. I always tell people that riding one is like when you're a kid and wish your BMX bike had a motor...now it does
Nice numbers on the diesel! My current daily driver is an 05 Jetta TDI 5spd. I keep wanting to get a reflash for it, but spending the money elsewhere...

My only complaint about the little WR is headwinds. That little engine is pretty de-tuned, and it just doesn't have enough ooomph when going down the highway. The 10' YZ/WR450's are supposed to be fuel injected, and a whole mess of other cool stuff. I may plop down the cash for a 10' WR450F, but I really want to get a F16 too.
Check out Pierz Diesel, http://store.pdrdiesel.com/ , they had a bunch of stuff for the TDI's on there before. You can get some pretty impressive power outta that little engine, and still get 50mpg. Well.... so long as you can keep your foot out of it. I've spotted a few modded Jetta's, always cracks me up when a little car spits out a thick black cloud and is just gone.
If I won the lottery, I'd build a AC Cobra kit car, with a V10 Toureg diesel in it. Just cause it'd be quick, and probably give the Cobra crowd a coronary.

If I ever hit the lottery I get a real AC Cobra. And build one too, but I would put one of these in it. Nothing says get out of the way like Merlin V-12
Let see dirt bikes, what have I owned:
1972 CZ 125
1973 DKW 125
1974 CZ 250 Falta Replica
1975 Husky 360 Mikola Replica
1978 RM 250
1981 CR250
1986 CR250
1988 CR250 - IMPO was the best outdoor motocross bike ever made.
Race anything, wasn't even a challenge. Did in a 69 Z-28 one day, well kinda had to. The Z-28 driver's girlfriend was on the back of my bike teaching me anatomy when he pulled up next to us at a light. Gotta love those Pennsylvania country roads.
Few weeks later I was before the magistrate, he looked at the sheet, looked at me, looked at the sheet again, then looked at me and said
Judge - son, you want to keep your license?
ME - ahh yeah
Judge - sell the motorcycle by Friday and bring me the bill of sale.
ME - Ahh Yes sir
