It's about time. With all the big heavy ADV bikes, or teensie 250 and 300 bikes, the 400-450 class of dual sport is the most neglected and ignored. GOOD JOB SUZUKI!!
@@ananass8030 "Adventure motorcycles, also known as ADV bikes, are larger-displacement multi-cylinder motorcycles developed for on- and off-road travel and are capable of covering great distances while providing the rider with relative comfort." I don't know, but 400cc is neither a larger displacement nor a multi-cylinder motorcycle, the Suzuki DR-Z4S does not have the tank capacity which would make long distances very pleasant, and it does not have long-distance comfort. You can stick this bike in any niche you want, but there are many alternatives, even from Europe, for this Suzuki. They came even with 2-stroke engines.
@GerhardWanninger-fi4bl if you give after market bigger tank and more comfortable sit you'd get a small displacement adv bike. Baby adventure bike are a thing you know.
@@ananass8030 Aftermarket is not the original motorcycle, you can modify every motorcycle with every part out there. Baby adventure might be your creation and, back to the original subject, there are (!) many alternatives out there competing directly with the Suzi. And you get aftermarket for these motorcycles too.😁
I have several motorcycles, some I sold, others I bought, but the 24-year-old DRZ still runs trouble-free. Original crank and second piston. It has already traveled over 40,000. I think this motorcycle will stay with me forever. Armored equipment !
WOW! This is awesome! The internet has been speculating about a new DRZ after US Patent documents were discovered back in September. I told me dealer I wanted to get on the waiting list. They said "we haven't heard anything about a new DRZ - Suzuki hasn't change it in forever, and likely won't". I said "I still want on the waiting list if a new one comes!" I'm going to stop in there today and talk to them more about it.
@@OFFroadOFFcourse because they changed the ratio to be what you would have expected 6th to be. If you have ridden a drz you know that 4th and 5th are the same they simply changed 5th to be the low rpm high speed gear that you wanted. Test ride one and you will see what I'm talking about.
@@CaptLawrence yeah i get it, but thats a half ass solution... theres a reason why everyone else (including suzuki with the old dr350 and drz250) use 6 gears instead of a long ass 5th :p i find it a bit disapointing, but not really deal breaker for me (i dont really need to use the highway ever when i go out offroading)
@@OFFroadOFFcourse I dont know personally I think the only reason 6th gear exists on the other bikes is to pass noise and emission tests. Is there ever a real life reason to use 6th if 5th was geared properly? especially since the mpg of this bike is already fantastic. Saves weight for me to have a long 5th but, I see your point.
@@JinKazama92 sorry man but no I wouldnt be better off. I ride my drz400s hard offroad I jump it and then ride it 300 miles home. This is what I need and as mentioned the ratio for 5th has been changed you dont need a 6th.
@JinKazama92 I've been trying to figure out why people shill for the dr650 for years now and still can't figure it out. You have an almost 400lb bike that barely squeaks out 35 hp, is carburated and looks hideous with 30 year old technology still selling today for $7k... there are so many superior bikes out therem
@@DB-sd3cw Its just that its simple has 30 years of parts is still made and dead reliable. There are plenty of reasons to love the DR650 I just dont need one for myself because of my riding style. If I was in australia it would be my go to bike though.
Awesome to see. I had a drz400sm for about 8 years and love it so much. It was one of the most fun motorcycles I've ever owned. Now I only own a klr 650 but with no longer doing long distance travel I could see a 4s being a great substitute.
I saw this. I wont be buying them but i am glad to see it. I currently own a 21 klx 300 sm and a 22 klx 300 ds. I will not be upgrading for a while. In the past i did own drz 400 sm with dual sport tires. It was a lot of fun but it made me realize, i should personalize 1 for street and one for trail separately. I don’t know anyone else that has bought both at the same time. Running, errands, commute, joy ride, bike night ect? Take the SM. Trail or gravel ride? Take the DS w knobby tires. DR-Z4 is thou$and$ MORE than a KLX, 30 pounds heavier, and no 6th gear. Glad to see it, but I will wait.
@@josephthornton8560 to be fair, my klx300 is kind of junk on the highway. It all depends on what you use it for. KLX300 is a good mule for tight trails. DRZ4 might be better on forest service trails.
Anyone notice the suspension not bottom out on everything like the crf300l, that’s a huge win. 2 pc frame that’s a win, fully adjustable kyb suspension that’s a win. Seat height looks taller that’s a win, black wheels that’s a win, nice new dash, that’s a win, 400cc that’s a win, if the gear ratio is wide range this will be the bike everyone has been asking for . Also if the price is only just up from the klx and crf 300 bikes aswell. Not looking for crf450l prices
@@supermotosunset Yeah the DRZ is already so overpriced, if they increase the price that will be disgusting, even this new iteration should be $8000aud, considering all these bikes about to come out they should also drop the price to get people wanting to buy them otherwise they will sit in showrooms
NIce to see the long-awaited updates arrive. Only question I have is the seat height: are they offering a factory option for lowering it? So far, I've seen no model designation - just the supermoto option.
i really think Suzuki missed an opportunity here. yeah its fuel injected, with ABS, but besides the same ol 5 speed, the bike is heavier with the same or actual less horse power, and really does a 400 need traction control and ride modes? think I'll hold on to my 2022.
Qué mala publicidad. Quieren mostrar las motos pero no pude verlas porque las transiciones duran menos de 3 segundos y al final no se pueden apreciar. ¿Eso es para que justamente no veamos las motos ni sus cualidades?
This is a band aid.....to try and keep market share from loyal customers. Really need a Rally version with bigger tank, 6 cogs and a 425 or 450 motor. Price point was the focus... Japanese are followers....and focus on reliability and loyalty.
Nice bike, bat, after 24 years from the first model we get more weight and less power, the graphics and color are a disaster, the sixth gear is missing, I hope the rear spring is stronger than on the old model.
Greetings y'all, 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲 What a bad joke from our friends JAPANESE. No way Jose, I'm purchasing a new 2024 left over in this dealership for 6100 OTD. Please, don't be fooled.
i am 55 and yes: I will buy this bike and i will get a peace of my youth back. Wonderfulland my deepest thank you to Suzuki
“You ready”? Bro I said yes like 6 times just fucking ride
But...Had enough?
say are you ready again, i dare you say it again🤣
I had to mute video half way threw...
So after two weeks, one has to ask the question again: You ready? 😆

100%
There are a lot of enduro bikes in 400-600 but not many adv's

Honda has upgraded suspension for 2025....
they are literally going for 13,500.00 USD its such a scam
Hopefully Suzuki spread out the gearing range to make it more highway capable. It will be this or the ktm 390 for me...
There is also a tuareg 457 on the way
Kawasaki just teased a KLE500 twin cylinder adv also
I'll be waiting for all these new bikes to come out before I buy anything
if suzuki tries selling this bike for 13 grand im just going with ktm while i wait for suzuki to dissolve as a company

Did they fix the too narrow gear spacing in the transmission? 5 speeds is fine if there is actually adequate spread between them.
true, also makes me think, Suzuki will release a 6 speed trans for a mid-cycle refresh.
Cute. Sticking with my DR650
Remember to always ask your friends if they are ready
You ready?
@@dirty-moto We are not friends
Wonderful bikes. Perfect for the Indian market.
When do I purchase it in Japan?
Hope this Suzuki bring this in Asia
when will it be sold in Indonesia?
Super cool!! ❤❤
You're cooler than Husqvarna
Where is the rally version?
let's gooo!! now put an e-start on rmzs
The light is super but will it make the night day? How many lumens?
Awesome susuki thanks maaaaaaannn keen to get one 😀 👍

Please, make it available in Europe !
It passed Euro5 from what I read, so I suspect it will be coming.
Lets say the RMZ line needs a start button.......im still waiting to spend my money.......too bad they have no clue
Gracias suzuki!!!
I’m not sure if this is too little too late Suzuki. I hope it comes to Australia in a supermoto trim
I'm sure it will in small numbers.
This bike is to keep market share not grow it....
The bike the market has been begging for
Injenção eletronica? Ou carburada?

Bring this to indonesia. Smaller engine its ok, but keep it like this
But no new dirt bikes 450 and 250
My KTM 500 will Enduro most anything, and hold 75 on the freeway no problem. 6 gears is where it's at.
Excellent.
2 litre fuel tank and same shitty 5 speed--- no thank you
No 6 speed
Cringe commercial, I don’t wanna ride with anyone who needs power modes and traction control/abs for 35hp LMFAOOO😂🤣🤡 “YoU rEAdY?”
Finally!
👏👏👏
Ready for more power and less weight.

As long as the spread is good a 6th isn't really necessary. That was the issue with the old gear box.
