      @@ThOmAs12111211 You're right...however, its reliable enough. Tune the Zuk 400 to 450cc - 510cc and you won't say that. Old school Varna's 450's made 48hp reliably enough. I've own mine for 15 years without fail.
      Sure you must stay on top of oil changes. Valves aren't an issue because it isn't tuned like a hyper Jap race bike.
      However, don't get it mistaken it is a race bike in every way. The DRZ is a beginner's SMR, the frame is heavy and slow acting. And the engine is too over built.

      And why would you say the frame is heavy?? When the kickstart drz is as light as almost any other ~450 from that time. The sm is only heavy because it has more then just the most necesary stuff a race bike needs to be legal. Do people even realize that ktm and husky also have steel frames? But are still light 🤦‍♂️

      The DRZ will never see 48hp stock. For example, Honda of America claimed my 1995 XR250 made 30hp when true motorcycle enthusiast knew it only produced 20hp.
      UA-cam supermoto races in France or the UK from 2005 thru 2010. Note if you see anyone racing a DRZ. You're not going to see it. Europe take supermoto serious, like how Americans take MX serious. I'm sad if it hurts your feelings, however the truth must stand. And the facts do present themselves seeing no one in their right mind would consider a DRZ a race bike or a race spirited SMR.
      DRZ's are entry level SMR's. Real world horse power for a DRZ is about 29hp. That being the case, it should be reliable, seeing it doesn't have the power to self destruct.

    I've been on motorbikes since I'm 7 years old and have never been without one since. What I love about this channel is it's completely unbiased when it comes to brands,makes or styles of bikes. I've owned about 40 bikes in my 46 years here on earth and most were just because it was what I could afford at the time. There are so many good,fun,high quality bikes that motorcycle snobs over look because of "brand" loyalty. sometimes a big fat slow Harley is perfect....but other times a smaller nimble bike is better for your daily commute (and budget). In the end it dont matter what you ride as long as your enjoying what you ride!

    I had a lot of fun on my DRZ, logged 7k miles into it and bought it new. But it's just lacking in the power department on the highway enough for it to make it not feel as safe as other bikes when you need passing power (of course that's not the purpose of the bike).
    I also took it to the track, and as expected, on the straight you just get passed by all the sportbikes but you can catch up quickly on the corners.
    Like Sean says I think it's good if your commutes are limited to city and back roads but if you need to hop on the highway for any amount of time it quickly gets tiring. FWIW I've done 800 miles in one day on the DRZ in a 8 hour round trip, it was brutal. If you are perfectly okay with buzzing away comfortably in 70 mph in stock gearing down the freeway, then definitely go for it because the DRZ is fun like no other bike on the street.

Although the 490 was a bit much for the street😆. My first bike at 15 (you could get your license at 15 then) was an 81 XR200R the first of the prolink models, and that had no switch gear save for a kill switch, the horn was one of those rubber bulb squeeze ones, and full knobblies and that was street legal 🤣🤣 Fun times, but then the health & safety nanny state stepped in and ruined it.

Doing mainly twisty mountain roads to around 300km per trip, also about 80% road and 20% offroad on supermoto tires. On longer trips a 6th gear would have been perfect cuz in 5th the RPM's get a little high when you're trying to keep up with a SMC-R 690 or something.

I do 90% on road and 10% off road, and with my stroker +4mm and big bore +4mm making it a 462cc and also ACT gears, I can cruise on the highway at 140-160km/h all day long.

      You should really pick one up when you get the chance, I do trail riding on a 400E, and as a beginner rider who's only been riding for a little over 3 or 4 months, it's a blast and I love it. I never really liked motorcycles until I hopped on a Z400, I can't speak for the SM and S models, but I'd assume they're just as fun. And for a bike on the heavier side, it's pretty nimble for what it is. But it does kinda suck if you're short, I'm 5'9-5'10 and I have a hard time flat footing it, which can make it tricky on uneven terrain etc. but you can definetly still ride it regardless.

    Dump the clutch, bring the bike to 12~11 clock, quickly shift to 3rd gear, there you have a perfect wheelie! This work on my LTZ400, so it'll definitely work on the DRZ400!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

    Owner and I can't totally agree. I used to think the DRZ was a fantastic single bike to have, Until i had to cover miles on motorways (highways) they suck sat at 70-80mph. I too had to do a top end rebuild on mine and most do eventuality from everyone I know with one. Still love the thing tho! 🙂👍
