    Love this bike! I use a 2005 DRZ400SM for daily commuting for 10 years now. I own multiple bikes but I'm quickest by far on my DRZ through traffic. Every commute awakes the playing kid in me (at 50 years old 😇) Ohw, and I must mention that it never broke down. New one seems to be a bit heavy and low on power, but guess that an airbox mod, removal of the catalytic converter, and another mapping will bring it on par with the previous model.

    • @RealHooksy
      @RealHooksy 11 днів тому +2

      Looks like a pipe and some air box mods etc should liven up the drz and lighten it up too.
      6 speed would have been great but I guess if it’s still cheap we’ll let them get away with it.

      I don't really miss a sixt gear. I rarely exceed 100 km/h or 63 mph, which is totally fine in 5th gear. It does 90 mph flat out on the highway, but apart from torturing the engine, it is too light for those speeds and becomes unstable in the wind, That's why I have other bikes for highway use.

    • @davidmallia628
      @davidmallia628 12 днів тому +21

      I am hoping the gears are spaced more appropriately to not, necessarily, need a 6th gear for bikes like these. Most probably a sixth gear was not included to keep the costs down, and they compromised by spacing the gear ratios instead. I had the last SM model, and on the highway, all it needed was a taller 5th gear, not necessarily a sixth gear. Remember, these bikes are not intended for long distance performance on motorways. Motorways are doable, but at a slower pace. Otherwise get a Transalp, T7, or similar.

    I'm glad Suzuki is still supporting this model. I have had a drz400s as a 2nd bike for the last 20 years, on my third one. Still, I think they missed a bid opportunity by not giving it a six speed transmission and a bump to 450cc to elevate it from the last generation. It's not enough to make me want to trade up from my current drz, really don't care about ride modes for a dualsport.

The 400 has as much horsepower as the 650 so could pull a higher gear. 6 speed would have been ideal, but if they got the ratios right, it could be much improved just with the 5 speed.

  • @leopoldtyo
    @leopoldtyo 9 днів тому

    Sold my barely used 21 last year. I knew this bike was coming as I had participated in a focus group on it. The biggest gripe on the last generation was that it was still carbureted, needed a new dash, and the styling could use a refresh. Yes a 6th gear would’ve been nice, but no one really complained about it or needing more power or less weight. It still fulfills a dying niche of being an unapologetic super moto with few compromises. Most of the mods transformed the bike into a handling monster that punched way above its weight. We don’t really have a choice but to embrace the bike for what it is and isn’t. It’ll be another 20 years until it’s refreshed again and in that time the mods will roll back in and both the old and new generation bike will continue the cult following it deserves. I wish they would’ve just stuck the 450cc and trans from the RMZ into an upgraded chassis and called it a day. Better yet build a super moto/tour/adventure bike from the aging SV650. Suzuki knows their audience for this bike and played it safe… again. Cmon Suzu… update the Tu250x, the Drz650, and that god awful 250 “sport bike” already

And also the new gearbox with hopefully better ratios are compatible with the older drz. I think 5 gear is fine. My drz has the ACT wide ratio gearbox and its good on the highway. I can cruise at 110km/h with a 15/41 sprocket set up. It just need a taller 5th gear and smaller 1st gear and have the other gears well spaced out and its good. Anyways the drz is not really stable at high speeds. Its very prone to tank slapper. Speaking from experience. I guess it makes sense why suzuki retain the bottom end because it can be compatible with the older drz engine. I think im the only person in the world that thinks so.

      I guarantee that pipe manufacturers are already salivating at new pipe sales. There will be pipes, silencers, ECU's and all sorts of goodies available very quickly. This model is going to sell in huge numbers worldwide. The aftermarket is going to respond very quickly to the sales opportunities.

    As a major DRZ Fanboy, they missed the mark by a long way. They have had 25 years to figure this out. Less power, heavier, taller same exact gearing we have been complaining about for 25 years. Mind boggling to me. The number 1 and 2 complaints were not addressed. #1 comaint is gearing.....not fixed. #2 complaint was weight...not addressed. #3 complaint is the seat....that remains to be seen. For now, me and everyone i know says they perfer the older version over this new failure. Yes the few things they did are good, they didnt change what everyone has been complaining about. So its 100% clear that Suzuki does not listen to their customers at all. IMO, major fail. When my 2011 gets to 100,000 miles soon, it will just get another engine. 55,000 miles now, runs and looks better than new or this new one too.

    It will never be like the old DRZ400, euro 5 has killed the bike you would need this bike around 500cc to be a better bike, or be prepared to spend £2k-£3k on “opening” it up and getting past euro 5, not only for better throttle response but better performance and engine cooling..hence why I accept the weight of my tenere 700 because even stock it’s a beast!!! But it too will get a remap, air box mod cat delete and titanium exhaust but it’s still great stock

    My guess is the Suzuki will be priced in the higher $8k range. That’s gonna make it a grand or so less than the Honda 450RL. The Honda will be lighter, more power and has a 6 speed. I’m gonna guess if you are going to spend that much the Honda might be a better value with the more it offers. Also, this is a dual sport. Not an adventure bike. You should be comparing value to like the KLX 300, Honda 300L/450RL, and Husky/KTM 350S-500. That’s the segment it’s in.

      With the CF Moto 450 MT and the Himalayan 450 costing around 6.000€ the DRZ400 (one cylinder, five gears), should be priced for less than 6.500€. Otherwise they will not sell one unit.

The venue was packed with teenagers and indifferent parents allowing their kids to sit on the bikes. Overall, it was a complete disaster. Never again!

    I bought a drz400sm in 2010, rode it maybe a half mile down the road and turned around and put it up for sale. The most pig of a bike I've ever ridden in my life, replaced it with a KTM 625smc that I absolutely adored. I'm appalled to see that they fixed absolutely nothing that made this bike so bad to begin with. It's now even heavier while making the same power and still has a 5 speed. All they needed to do was make it FI with a 6 speed and give it a few more cc's and they couldn't even do that. What an absolute joke. If you're considering buying one of these you should seriously consider getting your testosterone checked.
