but the Suzuki can get by—you just have
to work a little harder, but in a weird
kind of way, that's what makes the DR-Z
such a blast to ride. The KTM is a lot
more hyper than the Suzuki, and you
have to give it a lot of respect every
time you crack the throttle. The DR-Z,
you don't have to worry about that. It is a far more
easy-going, forgiving, and user-friendly motor-
cycle. Chose your personality.
The debate as to which bike is better,
the old-school DR-Z or the high-tech EXC,
will go on forever. It pretty much comes
down to, what matters most to you? The
bike or the ride? If it's the bike, then, yes,
the KTM is still the king, but if it's about
the ride, well, there really is no winner. Both bikes
will deliver that by the boatload. CN
Power is always fun
and the KTM delivers
both. The Suzuki
also delivers good
fun but in a more
comfortable and laid
back manner.
