SMs are silly to me. Only reason I like a dual sport Is the offroad capabilities coupled with street legality. Setting the bike up to be for road use specifically seems counterproductive to me. Why not just get a touring bike at that point. Especially with the DRZ Only being a 5 speed it's like eh😅
@@The-Message-man111it’s nothing like a touring bike though, the opposite in fact. Sm is super nimble on the road, the difference with 17inch front and back is substantial
@@88scarletvideos88 the DRZ has a nice wide range in all gears. Out on the road, at 55 - 75 mph, you're shifting back and forth from 5th to 4th when you go up and down hills and around corners. It's just 'The' best,' little, light, flickable bike. It's really fast for a street bike, that only weighs 320 lbs. I mean, it'll do 90 mph, and I don't want to go any faster than that... 😆
@@maxwell9734 my first and only bike so far and ive loved it, its able for 1 hour+ free way rides country single tracks n tough as guts. I wish 4th was a lil torqueyer but its probably just my skill issue. Also i find it always wants me just speeding, 60 kph too quick for 2nd to slow for for 3rd hahahahaha
@@loganslife717 i still don't get it...I just don't. Usually, if it does everything then, it doesn't excell at anything. Not really the best way to sell me on it. That's why I'm a proponent of getting the bike that performs the best in each category. Get a cruiser, a sport bike, a adventure bike, a dual sport and a UJM like I did. go out and ride what's right for you on that particular day. i spent about 50000.00 dollars but, today's cars cost almost that much. I don't want a minivan!!
Those are the days! Mine is the KLR650 - A tank that can cut thru the wind at highway speeds but still rip up hill and finesse the trails! 😎🔥
This is why I want to buy one !
Adventures on the side of the road
I would say they are the Subaru’s of motor bikes 😂 I got a 400sm myself 👍
Drz engine doesnt just blow when you ride it lmao
Nah, toyota bro
Yah Subarus good all rounders

Drz is the 3rd Gen 4Runner of bikes bro
Yeah that's probably the best comparison.
That's a little better... Mines a 5th gen though.
That suspension bottoming almost took you out😂😂
that's why it's a minivan - no rear suspension
Maybe he should try standing up
@@butterflyza7247 💯%
At least the suspension is adjustable tho
Minivan.... yeah but id rather a drz that will run no matter what then my wr450 that blew up cos i missed a services one time 😅
That thing rips
Cool.
Stand up and elbows up
Νeeds much power at stear and full gas😁💪
Stand up
Year of the bike?
@@רואימלכה-מ3ש probably 2006
Nah way too off-road capable to be a minivan equivalent man. Minivan would be like the Honda NC700 or something. Drz is subaru of bikes.
It's not the best at anything, but it's good at everything. Does that sound like a mini van or a fkn flamer Subaru???
After putting 50k miles on two DRZs and a new third one in the garage, that's my thoughts exactly.
What gear on the hill?
Sounds lime 2nd
@@88scarletvideos88Well, he started off from a dead stop, and I don't think he changed gears.. 1st gear ?

why is it the minivan of bikes? is it because nobody wants one?
It does everything, street trail etc good….but nothing well. You buy a minivan for its function, not for looks or status. Haha

I agree chuck. I don’t recommend it, but it’s fine all the same.
Who gives a shit and who has 50k for a bike?
