I fucking love my DR. I love how caveman simple it is to keep running. But I think I probably have give up some ground clearance and lightness to get a twin cylinder engine and not get blown off a mixmaster by a semi

Are there any current production twins under 425ish lbs with moderate ground clearance and suspension you think a wrenchlet can keep running?
