Thats correct! Almost as good as injection with a nice FCR-Mx

I think the DR600 was/is the best adventure travelling bike. My brother and I had '89 DR's and used them for traveling all over the world. 216.000 km, no real problems, engines never opened! Mines is decorating my garden now...

See for our adventures:

@XteneriderThat is a nice looking bike in GREAT shape. Air cooled singles have a warm place in my heart!
