It's 6 speed, oil cooled and I guess you could tune the inlet to boost torque.
Obviously you need the electric starter variant.
Or maybe even better a DRZ 250 which is DOHC and would allow for a fancy cam timing if fuel injected (see "atkinsoning motorbike engine" thread)
DRZ400 would be better. Liquid cooled and much higher compression. DOHC for fiddling with the timing if that's your desire. Throttle position sensor on the carb for a slightly more sophisticated timing map. I owned the dual sport version. Spectacular mileage and lots of power.
