They DRZ's are bullet proof and perfectly suited to that type of riding. People bag on them when comparing them to new age enduro bikes but in my opinion the DRZ is better suited. Smoother and mellower power which doesn't tire you out but also teaches you to carry momentum and flow through the tracks. The soft suspension is really good when your riding for 6-8hrs a day, sure you could hit things faster with newer style suspension but you'd also be physically wrecked by lunch time. Bulletproof design, we rode these bikes through seat deep water multiple times without drowning one of them, I know the newer model KTM's easily drown with their open air box design. Personally I'd rather do this sort of riding on a DRZ rather than a KTM, but that's just my preference. I think your overall enjoyment on a cape tour mainly relates back to the tour company running the show, people on your tour (guides and customers) and your attitude on the tour (positive attitude and taking in the scenery and moments ad they come)
@Love Offroad thanks so much mate , really appreciate it , l have a klr which l do enjoy on the dirt ,nothing too rough , thinking of something lighter for a bit more fun , l tried the crf300l, l wasn't impressed, l no spring chicken 😀 maybe l will try the drz 👍
Based on everything I've heard from people who've ridden/ owned the crf300. It's quite overpowered and weighs the same as a drz400. The ABS on it can cause some issues for offroad as well. The only real positive seems to be low seat height for shorter people.
Don't stress mate, doesn't cost me anything to reply or try to help out. No I don't think so, once you have it jetted properly (they are very good stock) you won't really need to adjust it unless you start doing mods like exhaust or opening up airbox, or unless you have massive changes in elevation. The beauty of a carby they are easy to fix and can't really go too wrong. On the other hand when a fuel pump shits itself your stuffed.
That is the BEST all round day-at-a-time Cape York reel I’ve seen! Great job, well done 👍🏼
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm really happy with how it turned out and I think it gives a good insight, into just how good these tours are.
Great video mate, keep them coming if you can.
Amazing video!
This is definitely on the bucket list!
Thanks for watching. It is definitely a ride that I would suggest to anyone who rides a motorbike.
Rex is a handsome fella with that hairdo 😍
Rex is an all round legend.

Thanks for watching. Definitely do it, it's a great part of the country and unreal riding.
Great video, I enjoyed that.
Glad you enjoyed it
My dream trip. I live in the U.S.
Definitely worth a trip over for, plus there's plenty of other great things to see in this country.
Awesome video. I’m booked for October.
Awesome, you will have a ball. Its the best riding i've done in 20yrs on a bike.
Watching this in a house called Ellwood, seems right.
That's pretty cool, thanks for watching
Nice
Thanks for watching
Great video mate , a very good insight to the tour , how to you find the bikes ?

@@loveoffroadaus l will leave you alone after one more question , should l be concerned about the drz still running a carby ?

Of course there's a car in the ditch on the Kuranda Range Road. lol.
Which one is Jake … 🤔
No Jake in this video.
Be careful of Ben Smith..
Never heard of him
