Jumping from the yellow to the blue team

After owning a DRZ400 for about 2 1/2 years I recently decided to take the plunge and upgrade to a new bike.

I decided I wanted something with a bit more off road capability, albeit a little more costly on the maintenance side. It had to be a great trail bike and I wasn't worried about the racing side of things. Basically there were two choices for me. Orange or Blue.

Yes there are others out there but at this point in time they were ruled out because when it comes time to upgrade again, they are worthless.

As one dealer said to me, "he would not trade in a lot of the new European bikes because he knows he will never sell them".
