It’s a lowered 2003 DR650 with a 2017 engine in it. Before leaving I went to do a top end rebuild due to some oil leaking through the valves, I saw that there was major wear on the cam and cam journals, perhaps from the past owner running it with low oil, not really sure. It was cheaper to just buy a new used engine on eBay then weld and re-machine the journals which is why the new engine. It only had 357 miles on it, the eBay seller told me someone totaled the bike out of the shop I guess!

I built the top rack and pannier rack system myself. And I made the stainless steel crankcase covers, both of the button panels, the windscreen, pvc tool roll with stainless hangers and did the custom paint.
The reason I call her the Phoenix I because she has been stolen from me twice and both times I got her back! She came back to me beaten and broken and each time I built her back up; rising from the ashes. She has earned her name and wears it well.
