very interesting indeed .
Both the bike and the - honest - report .

I had seen the mash , the road one .
Read about the engine, former honda copy
and so on .
Unfortunately

, I found a good second hand DRZ with 4000 k' o' clock only which I rode in morocco pistes . The bike was better really on tracks, bumps, rocks, deep sand than the pilot, not trained enough .
My last experience was with a XT on a big trip and a tenere ( first model , heavy as a gs ...almost

)
You can imagine the difference !!!
Still a big
marge of progress for me ...
Of course, not very good on road .
So this 400 will be perfect for me in a new RTW if i make one .
air cooling - simpler for everything, like fixing the valves ( big work on a DRZ )
fully prepared - i wont take the hard saddles ... like better the GLoop coyote and less weight and scale
cheap ? I dont know exactly .
For a major trip surely there will be other opportunities, like a DL but , on this one , my old knowledge of the
unbeatable XT will work !!
Will try one if I can ...
