Bar bends ? On dtr
-
Oh what

I prefer the Contours myself, but hey each to their own.

@NINJA That's funny, I think I prefer the Aprilia over the Yamaha as well.
Don't get me wrong, adore my DT. Fantastic bike, but that Aprilia though. If I could have afforded one, I would have gotten one. But then I'd never have joined this forum so...

Both bikes and their pros and cons, but I would agree with ya about the Aprilia over the Yamy.
And I would have happily kept my DTR if it was easy to upgrade the brakes, suspension and SuMo it. But instead I decided to start over with my MX 125, as that was already a Supermoto and therefore had less mods to do. Your next project could be an MX 125, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you are eyeing up a KTM SuMo???

See i completely disagree there I've owned 2 rs 125s one 123 engined chesterfeild and a 122 spains no1 a dtr and a dtx 125 ..... and for me personally its all about the dtr ...... the rs is faster yes definitely. but both about the same with reliability rs parts are more expensive its alot more difficult to work on its so uncomfortable if your doing 30 odd miles a day to work it gave me the worst back pain but im 6ft
and its little and i dont really find the rs has any usable power under 8k really there a bit all or nothing a bit balls to the wall or nothing at all ..... as where the dt is more usable as a daily and it's pretty comfortable for a trail bike .... but thats my opinion i guess it all depends on what you use it for ..... and i really like both of the bars so i shall see what they look like fitted i deffinatly prefer the black bars though

As I said earlier it's all down to riding style, usage and the riders height. Which probably explains the popularity of SuMo's, Ie. sports bike handling (to an extent), with a more comfortable riding position. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Not RS. RS is a cracking bike for the summer weather on the weekend to rip around B roads. MX can do that and still be a good daily. Just like the DTR, but packs a far superior punch.

I have a video of me and my mate on his mx 125 and the dt is faster all round the frame is much nicer on the mx and the build quality is far better on the mx ... but even with the mx having a 34mm carb and vforce it still stood no chance against the dt with a skimmed head and reeds .....

@Calum I knew it was either a KTM or an RS 250, I will look forwards to viewing your next adventure - TBC.......................

What I got planned, it would be criminal to do to a fresh 250. So I'm looking for a project.
The new style RS125 Panels fit the 250s. I'm looking to do a Biaggi Replica to match the 125. I think that'll look sweet in my collection.
