I am also a proud DRZ owner,I stay in Gauteng,done "Die Hel" & Baviaanskloof all the way down to Knysna and back,no problem.I recommend changing the front sprocket to a 15,allows to cruise at 120 - 130km/h all day long.Wind is a factor and getting use to the seat take some doing.Yours look like an"E".Average consumption 20km/l.I have upgraded to a Dakar and replace all the standard stuff except for the FMF pipe on the bike and won the Losberg Off road rally with it about a month ago.What a bike.
