GRIM
Race Dog
I got a DT 175 last week, supposedly for my wife, but so far I have been commuting on it for a couple of days, and am seriously impressed.
I tested a couple of the 4 stroke 200's, and they were ok, but uninspiring, then got a new DT from a mate, picked it up planning a quick ride back home, & ended up having a morning playing in the dirt. It wheelies quite happily with me on, highway is do-able, but on the tight stuff it is awesome... light, low, pick-up-with-1-hand light, and enough power to leave me with a serious grin.
If anyone is looking for the ideal beginner bike for a wife, I think the DT knocks the socks off any of the 4 strokes...
