@@moorepower13 its about having a more versatile bike, a 6 speed with a wider range of gears lets you have a low 1st gear for technical trails and tall 6th for cruising at +65 without ringing it out. On the older ones you can only have one or the other. Its possible they changed the ratios where the 5 speed has both but then you run into big gaps in gears

Very nice surprise, thank you Suzuki! But seriously: when you are already updating the engine with new valves, camshafts, exhaust system, electronics etc... would the implementation of a six-speed gearbox really have been an unsurmountable technical difficulty?
I don’t think it’s a technical issue, more of a cost issue - I’m pretty sure that would have jacked the price up further- they probably made an internal estimate of price, versus engineering cost, against how many they’ll sell. I’m pretty sure this is the only model with that engine… I’m not sure about the following, but I think a change of that order would mean more emissions testing, which may jack up the price again.
@@martyn_g You’re probably right about the increase cost but they’ve failed to upgrade one of the top two things former DRZ owners have asking for. The SM would have been in contention for my next bike if they’d put on a wide ratio 6-spd.
My feelings exactly. Even a wider ratio 5 speed would have been acceptable. I saw elsewhere the 1st and 5th ratios are the same. How much does it cost to change gear ratios? They must be designing these bikes in a vacuum with zero input from their customers.
@@convextlc9767 On a dualsport FB group they showed a picture of the engine and colored which parts are revised. 1st and 5th gears were not revised. Of course that could be fake or whatever but that was my source.
@@MotorcycleEnjoyer01 Why bye bye. They will make it euro5 compliant, like KTM does with the 690s. That sadly means ABS too. Hope Traction control is not forced. ABS can be removed.
@@angelamador8662 it's not an Enduro. When you have to ride more than 2 hours to reach the trails, you need that 6th gear. Mainly to lower vibrations of high RPMs and lower fuel consumption
This is awesome! Way to go Suzuki! Please bring back the LTZ400 and LTR450! Yamaha needs some competition in the sport quad segment. The interest is there!
For years, all people have asked for is a sixth gear. That’s it. Didn’t need stability control, or engine map changes, or a new tiny headlight. Literally just the same bike with a sixth gear. Way to drop the ball right on the one yard line.
Now waiting with impatience for the DR 650 SE.Come on SUZUKI you can do it...With kind regards from a sad DR owner who sold his beautiful DR and is regretting it since 15 years.I live in a country with EU regulations.
The DRZ400S was my first road-legal bike in 2006 when i was 19. I kept it untill 2020 with many great times. I did own other bikes along side it and honestly, the only issue i had with the DRZ was the transmission. I bought a '21 690E a few years back and while it was double the price, it was worth it. I put the ACT wide-ratio gearset in my DRZ and it made it more versitile but it was also over $1,000 to do. I assume the bike doesnt have a 6-speed as to not compete with the DE adventure bikes, and a market analysis that shows people will still buy it. Unless it is under $8G USD, im not in the market.
Finally Suzuki! Not a fan of TC or abs but I get you need it by law in some markets. As long as the bike remembers when you turn it off it's fine by me.
Holy crap, is it finally happening?! 24 years in the making! As someone who's owned a DRZ for 13 of those 24 years, please let there be fuel injection LOL
@sylvainlaurence1554 true, the value proposition has always been one of the strong points considering how much fun can be had. I'm just done cleaning & tuning carbs after a decade 😅 ...it's a love/hate relationship at this point.
Amen. 17 yrs myself, with 3 in the garage now. Great bikes. Will wait to see how reviews land on performance and what msrp is, but would be nice to not have to wrestle the FCR anymore. Looks like the starter still remains in same spot.
Seriously been waiting on a new DRZ for a long time. Loved my old one. BUT the bike doesn't make enough power to need all those nanny's ....if you can't handle a bike less than 50hp then get a different bike. All bike needed was 6th gear, fuel injection, more power and better suspension. The end.
Suzuki is conservative, it’s dreaming in color thinking About 50 hp,6 speed and whatever. This bike got almost 25 years and still the same. All those new features will raised the price .
@@sylvainlaurence1554 Honda did it with the 450RL. Then there's the orange bikes and the Betas. People will pay for it. They just want to sell more bikes to the unwashed masses.
遂に来た！

ﾊｱ？😮
Suzuki have 3 bikes I want now, the SV650, GSX 8S and now the DRZ 4S! Suzuki are killing it.
Finally, it's not just BRAND NEW graphics of DRZ 400... 😃Great job, Suzuki!👏
It's just brand new plastics😂
@@MotoSly its literally a brand new frame, swingarm, suspension and a revised engine. Stay ignorant 👍
I'm an even bigger Suzuki fanboy now and I don't even plan to buy this but just knowing how many people wanted this bike to exist ... hats off :))

20lbs more and less power, sign me up.
@ioandragulescu6063 this wasn't the redesign us DRZ owners wanted. Traction control, abs, ride modes are a joke on an off road bike that makes 35hp.
It wasn't just a bike for me. Thanks Drz for all you gave me: friends, mechanical skill and a lot of fun!
