Wore the sides of the tire out before the center.
Fresh front rubber today.
Replaced the worst grips I have ever used.
Super slippery and no matter how much safety wire and glue they always spun.
From commuter, to track bike, to back roads, to adventure bike. Does it all.
This thread is relevant to my interests.

I work in the same building as the Honda HRC (Moto) folks, whereas I ride my 450RL SM and still get compliments daily. I don't think I'll ever ride anything other than supermoto (ex 450SXV, 690SMC, 950Hyper S).
In reply to metallitubby :
Supermotos are my absolute favorite. I'm really liking my new to me ktm500. If I didn't just get the 500 I had been eyeing 690/701s.

I deeply regret selling my modded 690SMC for the Ducati Hyper. What a mistake!
In reply to metallitubby :
I think when I get more settled in at my new job I'm gonna sell the drz and get either a 690/701 or a 698 mono or a xr650R if I can find a titled one in my price range.
Gonna be a bit, but how I have been leaning.

Since I'm a Honda corporate nerd, I ended up selling the Hyper and building a mountain-focused machine for the roads nearby me in North Georgia.
In reply to metallitubby :
Such a good looking machine. What have you been doing for a oil change interval on it?

2x a year, regardless of mileage using Motul, since they sponsor my race team (auto).

That's awesome. Been a big talking point in local riding group.
1st major malfunction since owning the bike. Got stuck in 3rd/4th 
Took about and hour to tear it down and find the issue. Was a chunk of rtv in the shift selector. Shifts now. I have a complete gasket kit for the drz but not the side cover gasket. When it shows up it will go back together and be ready for this weekends scavenger hunt.

No context for now. 
Drz went to a new home in Central Kentucky. 550 mile round trip and we have a new to us 17 Husqvarna 701sm with a clutch issue.
^next to the Roberts Center off I-71.
Dude...congrats! That's awesome; I'm sure you'll love the Husky! 😁

I'm excited. Got it broken, has some nice stuff on it already.
Someone put a Chinese clutch master and slave cylinder on it and gave up bleeding it (they took it to 3 shops who couldn't get it done).
Checked it out earlier and the "nicecnc" slave cylinder leaks, and the whatever ebay master cylinder on it won't move fluid or even bench bleed.
