I had a '96 DR650 (purple!)  great bike. It went everywhere.   Heavy and no way could I do wheelies like this guy!

Funny stuff.  But I don't think those other bikes were stranded.  I think they were waiting for him to catch up.  He seemed to keep passing the same guys.  They'd let him get ahead then pass him back and have to wait. LOL.  A long time ago I rode my friends DR 650 which I was asked to store in my garage.  It was fun, but it's a night and day difference compared to our 690s.

It's not the arrow that kills you, it's the Indian.

This dude would definitely outride me on his DR, but he'd crush me if he were riding a 690.
