DRZ SM or Conversion?

A friend of mine has a 2007 RMZ 450F that he doesn't use. He's thinking about buying a DRZ SM and selling the RMZ. I'm trying to convince him to convert the RMZ instead.

He wants it to be street legal and maybe use it for some track days. Am I wrong? How much should he spend to convert it if he does? I found a kit for $1550

Supermoto Conversion Kit: The Street Legalizer

I know it's low end, but it should still be better than the DRZ SM, right?

Thanks in advance for any input.

either way you cant go wrong. it all depends on your local dmv if he can even use the RMZ as a streetbike.

Run the RMZ on the highway and you'll kill it.
The DRZ is a MUCH better choice for a street tard.
Teh RMZ has less than a quart of oil. The DRZ has almost 2.
My DRZ makes 52hp...and is stone reliable.
