n old blacksmith once told me, when you walk around with a hammer in your hand all day, everything looks like a nail. This bike is no different. When you ride it, everything seems very doable. It's powerplant is great for inspiring a new rider, or bringing out the kid in all of us. The (2004) bike is reliable, just your like your hammer. Never left me stranded. The really awesome about this bike. It's got an amazing amount of accessories, much like one would put lipstick on a pig. I doubt you find a DR200 with as much in accessories as this one. It's a disease around this place, and somehow, we got our grubby hands on this one too! 1) Suspension: As an entry level bike, the OEM suspension was unremarkable and pogo-ie., so I upgraded both ends and what a difference it made! Front Forks have been upgraded by Racetech with Gold valves and heavier springs Rear Shock is a Works Performance unit 2) Rear Fender If you were a purist, beauty is where function meets form. That is true except when speaking of the hideous OEM rear fender. I replaced it with a more modern, MX type fender. 3) Rear Tail Light LED The rear tail light has been upgraded to LED. The following parts were usedEdge2 Tail LightDRC Edge2 Processor Upgrade Board) by 12 O'clock Labs Quote: This unit gives programmable integrated turn signals to the Edge / Edge2 tail light, as well as safety brake pulsing, a drop in replacement for the OEM led board, the unit also has brighter led's than the stock edge2 board, and is designed with 500,000 life hour capacitors for exceptionally long life operation 4) Rear Luggage Rack by ManRacks 5) Ricochet SkidPlate 6) Front Hand guards which are ProBends By Cyra and Pillow Top Grips 7) Front clutch lever is adjustable 8) Unbreakable Mirrors by Double Take 9) Power mount for a Zumo 660 (Does have a crack in the plastic, but seems to work fine) 10) Front brake line was replaced with Stainless Steel 11) Bar risers 12) After market bars with a higher bend (Protaper SE HandleBars) The not so glorious about this bike: 1) The body plastic has wear. White plastic never stays white. This one is no exception. 2) The left side gas tank has a big dent. It doesn't affect the functionality, but it's a bit of an eyesore 3) The paint has been rubbed by leg contact on the tank. The it probably doesn't matter much: 1) The previous owner(s) modified the airbox. It's suppose to allow more air in and pep up the motor. It's a DR200, I don't think it helped nor hurt the bike so I never fiddled with it 2) The same folks also modified the OEM muffler. I assume that they removed the CAT and maybe shortened it. Again, never bothered me enough to investigate it. Included in the sale is the OEM repair manual, owners manuals, my maintenance log book, and clean title. Local Pickup only. 20 Miles South of Washington DC
