Well, at my age I dont ride fast in the woods. Its more like exploring. I dont need a fancy suspension. The DRZ was great for that, but it sucked on the road getting there. Plus the DR is lower, I can touch the ground with both feet. I just think that for what I will be doing, this DR will be a great replacement for the other 2 bikes.

2 weeks ago sold my Triumph Tiger 800 and DRZ400, and just picked up a DR650. talk about a 1 bike quiver-lol. Its not bad on the road, hell I cant even shift into 5th til I'm doing 60. But I'm going down a tooth in the front so that might change a bit. Took it in the woods on Thurs, nothing super hard but it did great. SO much lighter than the Tiger in the woods, and not much heavier than the DRZ. With a few changes (gearing, better seat and lower pegs) this will be a do-it-all bike for me. Wish I did this years ago. And the funny thing is, when I started getting into ADV bikes 10-12 years ago I started with a DR650. But I was always looking for something better. Had a Husky TE610, KTM 525EXC, Husky 650 Terra (great bike), BMW 800GS, and the Tiger 800XC. All had their pro's and con's. But the DR does everything OK, so it will be a keeper (for now-lol)

Well I guess I'd have to try it. We visit family in Lebanon once a month or so, next time out there I'll get in touch. Where in Nashville are you?

Yea but mean like the top tube, and reach dimensions

I may be interested. I'm looking for the specs on the bike for measurements.

Not that great at starting them, but after 27 years in the fire department I sure know how to put them out-lol

Dont blame you. Funny thing is, it looks like they just used a spacer or something to reduce the capacity, so I thought I'd remove it since the baseplate is standard. But what the bastards did was to put a dimple in the metal near the top pf the mag where the 10th round would sit. So unless someone had a press to flatten it out, there aint no changing it-lol.

Almost positive they fit all the compact hammer guns including the Omega. If you look up any grip for a compact, it includes the P01 Omega

2 sets of CZ compact grips (PCR, P01, 75 compact etc) Lok-$35 smooth walnut finger groove-$35 Walnut finger groove(half checkered) for CZ 97B or BD-$40 Genuine rattlesnake grips for Officers 1911-new- $45 Black plastic 'American Flag' grips-$20 VZ Operator ll grips in package-$40 I'm in E TN but will ship

I have found anytime I bought a new gun and it had issues that the mfg always took it back and fixed it. In fact with a Kahr P380 that I bought used, they took it back and fixed that too.

lower price

The alloy compact models are de-cockers. I'm frustrated by this myself. Had a P-07 but it isnt the same. I bought a Dan Wesson ECP, alloy framed 1911. Has a safety and is less cash than the DWX.

I have several 9mm Brownell mags and never had an issue with them.

Funny that I read this today, cuz I just listed a few guns that I thought would be keepers. Yea it sucks to sell them, but sometimes my taste changes and I want something new. I like to keep some of the inventory fresh-lol

Wow, under $100 is a great deal. I have been looking also. Just found the Baldr mini w/green laser and a flashlight at B+H photo for $109.

Lets try this again.
