Here are some pictures of my recently purchased used 2005 Suzuki DRZ400S Dual Sport.

I bought this bike in early 2009. It's a 2005 model with 3000 miles on it. It came with Pirelli MT21 tires, Acerbis hand guards, and a Suzuki rear fender rack.

It was pouring down rain when I bought it. Once the weather cleared up and I started to clean it up, I found that most of the plastics have been repainted. It's definately not in the 'showroom' condition that the seller made out. I'm still happy with it, although I'm sure I did pay a bit too much.

Just like everything I buy, I can't stand to leave it stock. In this photo you can see that I've added Thumpertalk case savers and skid plate, as well as Unibiker radiator guards.

The battery was draining due to not riding it much in the cold weather, so I bought a battery tender. I zip tied the connection to the battery, with the lead out the back. This allows me to hook the bike up to the tender without removing any body panels.

We bought a used MXHauler to hook the bike to the back of our Jeep.
I've read posts from people that say the don't get pulled over for obstruction of the license plate. I hope the state patrol in our area is as forgiving!
The MXHauler seems to work fine, but this was just a dry run to make sure everything fit right. As of writing this, we haven't used it yet.
