A mate had one of these after he had the Honda XLV750 and KLR650.

The DR800 is the biggest production single cylinder bike made.

These bikes (like a lot of 80/90's stuff) benefited greatly from mods aimed and getting better breathing. Cam mod's were not unusual either.

I'm sure you'll be doing these very soon.....
