I cant see how it is better than the old one, it is heavier, has less power and has way more bells and whistles that nobody wants in this type of bike. I would rather buy the old model.
Absolutely do, not too thrilled about the fuel injection and inability to add a kickstarter, which makes the bike rely on a battery in good condition, which it probably isn’t after a winter in storage. Other than that, it looks like a better CRF300L. Will try to get a test drive on one the moment they’re available
Had a new DRZ400E in 2000, that was a great bike. I would not buy any of the new bikes though because of all the gizmo's they fit! Who needs 4 ride modes on a 38 horse power bike? Who wants to go through menu's and switch everything off after every time they have switched the bike off and on again? It's over weight and not particulaly good looking and they forgot people ride these things on the road and would greatly benefit from a 6th gear. Bike shops are closing left right and centre because the people who decide on the specs for modern bikes are so out of touch with what people actually want and will spend their hard earned on!!
The driving modes of this bike are selected according to the use that is going to be given to it, there is no need to configure anything... what we do miss s a 6 speed
@@verbalwidget0919A stock DRZ will go 90mph off the showroom floor. You can add 1 tooth to the countershaft sprocket for about $20. and go even faster. You may need a sixth gear. But the DRZ definitely doesn't.
If properly ratioed a 5 speed will be fine. Im actually giving the safari team some input on a rally tank for the drz4s. I hope they make it happen. This could be my unicorn after some mods (exhaust, ecu tune, rally fairing, and low slung safari rally tanks). Something like that would likely come in at around 360 to 380lbs wet and feel like it weighs 330lbs due to the low fuel weight.
Too heavy for my liking. I had a DRZ 400S. It was too heavy for my style of riding, but not stable on the road while being buzzy. Found an E model that's 30 lbs lighter with more power. Very reliable as I rode it regularly for 7 years without issue. Only a reg/rectifier. Still own it. Got a KTM 500 with 20 hrs on it for what this new, heavier Suzuki will sell for and its miles ahead in performance. No issues in the 2 years of hard use. This new DRZ4S is close to the weight of my DR650.
Glad to see suzuki is actually developing there bikes they haven't changed in years now we need a electric start rmz and i personally would love to see a rmx 250 and 450 also
5 gears are just fine so long as they space 4th and 5th a little further apart for interstate riding like honda did with the 300l as compared to the 250l. My 600 shadow only has 4 gears and does just fine. As kind of a Honda fan I'd take this drz over the 450l as long distance light adventure bike.
@Matthew-zw9su yes Matt it's the best bike I had to date.. rpms are low at 70. It out performs my 450rl like it's standing still. Pulls up in any gear and at any rpm.

I owned a 2009 DRZ400SM and it was a great bike. Previous owner modded the bike with all of the usual mods. The only thing it was lacking was a 6th gear and a little more power. So I bought a 701SM loved that bike as well. If I lived some place like AR or East TN, N GA or NC, this is honestly all I’d need to get my fix of curvy twisty roads. On the right road, you could hang with anyone on anything. What really got me on the DRZ and the 701 was highway riding. Living In Houtex there’s plenty of it to get anywhere and it was miserable on both bikes. That said, curvy country roads were an absolute blast. I’m sure this bike will do just fine and if I move somewhere with mountain roads, I’ll probably have one in my garage.
Light looks bad. No 6th gear. Bunch of electronics that add unneeded complexity. And a higher price. No thanks, this is a strikeout. People want simple, fun, affordable bikes. Suzuki has priced itself right out of the market.
People like me have been waiting for efi on this bike, I'm getting one, just because it has all the mapping and traction controls don't mean you have to use them from dirt to road and 8000 is what I paid for my yz250fx, it has different mapping on it and I have never changed it, I learned to ride the bike the way it was, and I have loved it, this is going to be great, just remember your opinion doesn't make it so
People don't know what they want. It doesn't get any simpler than the original DRZ. Nothing on the market today even comes close for the price. But look at all the ridiculous statements made in all the comments. They're pitiful! Half the people committing probably haven't even ridden a Suzuki DRZ400. They just complained about the carb or that it was dated. Now it's all new with fuel injection and they're still complaining. What a joke. It never needed 6 gears. Nor did it need fuel injection. Before the c0vid hit you could walk out of just about any Suzuki dealer with a brand new DRZ400S for under 6k. And today you can find clean, low mileage examples for about $3500 or less. Quit complaining and just tell us about the bike you'd rather buy. But probably never will.

agreed. i just wanted to say, that the drz4s is more a competitor for the 300l, not the 450l. the 450l is a pure performance model. i think the dfrz4s has great potential if the price is right ... about 7-8k euros max.
the current drz400e has more power than the crf450l/rl the new drz4s has a bigger throttle body and revised ports so with a tune and exhaust it should make more than the E model. current e model weighs 7kg more than crf450l/rl wet but carries more fuel and more oil, which is most of the difference. drz4s will weigh more but will have more weight that can be easily removed like pillion pegs, bar weights, catalytic converter, it will also be reliable and not need 1000km oil changes unlike the crf. also the weight difference is 22kg for the drz4s not 32kg and it should be a proper bike and will make the 450l/rl look just as stupid as the current drz400e does.
I'm good with everything except the throttle by wire. Would rather give-up the traction control for a reliable cable set-up. ABS I could also do without. Other than that its pretty nice
Suzuki! Listen to us damnit! We don’t need ride modes, you’re over complicating the DRZ. Make it lighter, give us a 6th gear, EFI is good, maybe 450cc? We want power, and a freeway gear, gas gauge and show us what gear we are in. Rebalance that damn buzzy engine. That’s what we really wanted. Keep the adjustable suspension front and rear, that was good. We like the oil in the frame, but if we could save weight and have to do more oil changes by eliminating the oil in the frame we would probably lean towards being lighter. But you built it heavier?? And your new headlight sucks. Aren’t you looking at Honda and Kawasaki 300cc head lights. Do something similar. Where the F did you get that current head light design? Leave it simple, go back to the drawing board and redesign the DRZ and make it more affordable. You could have the market if you get it right 🙉
You're absolutely right! There are things that could have been improved on this motorcycle, and they're simple things. But motorcycle manufacturers always seem to ignore our requests!!!
thanks for your comments. I want you to chef design service and at the head of engine service at suzuki !! we want minimum 45 HP (450cc) with 6 gears. Other stuff of electronics etc are bullshit !!
I love my 2003 drz 400. The bike is bullet proof. All it needed was fuel injection, and weight reduction. Certainly dont need it to be taller. Not sure about all the additional tech. Nice if it works. Unfortunately for Suzuki a lot of us moved on to other bikes. I just got a Honda 300l Rally, awsome bike, and better than the previous DRZ's in every way except HP.
I haven't heard or seen any info about three colors being offered in the S model, only two options: Yellow/white and Gray. What other color is the S going to be made in?
@@SuPreMeBikeRs Correct, 4 colors total (two for the S and 2 for SM) but in the video you said there are THREE colors of the S model, which is incorrect, there's only TWO color choices on the S model: Gray and Yellow/white
Most of the eng upgrades sound like emissions mandated stuff. At the end of the day it still heavier and slower than like a 2015 350 EXC, not to mention a 500 EXC.
Ik zou absoluut voor de Honda CRF 300 Rally gaan, ik heb de Suzuki 20 jaar geleden gehad in Canada en was er niet echt wild van, maar smaken verschillen hoor, maar bij Honda heb je wel kwaliteit, gaat nooit stuk.
I have a 18 vstrom 1000xt. I was considering trading it in until I seen it has a 5 speed. I was hoping for a Suzuki DR 450 with efi 6 speed rally version. Ill keep my Strom. It will go 70mph at 4500 rpm. Not great on gas though.
Excellent bike shame, suzuki stopped selling in the UK .used to green lane with two mates who had these Excellent bikes. If you want a green lane bike, it's just a bit less than full-on enduro bike.
No 6-speed? Why in the world Suzuki stick with the same old 400cc-a bore kit puts it at about 434cc, enough to call it a 450? I'll stick with my 2006 DRZ400s.
Like the old DRZ, 150kg is still too much weight for offroad especially with the modest power installed. Unsure this old engine will cope reliably with the added anti emissions measures, I foresee trouble, Suzuki should had develop an entirely new engine, lighter and purposely designed to meet new emissions standards
@kubabartosiewicz4208 stupid comparison? 😅 What else should i compare the DRZ to? A Honda crf250l? Why would someone buy a underpowered heavy bike like the DRZ when there are so many superior bikes out? That would be the stupid person in my opinion.
@@FabioSantos-uq9ol 😅 I have owned Honda, Yamahas, suzukis for 40+years, then a few years ago I got my first KTM. Hands down a WAY superior bike in every way, and unless u have owned several, I care none to hear feedback as far as dependability. I have owned a 690 enduro and now have a 350 exc, and a 390 adventure, and I have had absolutely no issues, a few of the 790s had issues and pre 2010 they had issues, but nowadays they are just superior on so many levels. All the serious riders in our area depend on nothing but KTMs, and we are all 50+ with many many years of hard riding experience. Mostly enduro. The only bike that comes close is a honda 450rl but still just not race ready. But I would buy it for my teenage boy, honda/yamaha all day long, they are great to tractor around on and learn. But No KTM.
@@tri7272looks like your not stay enough time with the same bike to appreciate the long lasting,almost maintenance free and cheap is to put 50000k road and trail ride on Honda Yamaha Suzuki Kawasaki compared to ktm …
Wenn der Preis stimmt sinkt mein Interesse! Dafür kriege ich eine Honda CRF Rally plus verbessertem Fahrwerk und größerem Tank, ohne Babykrankheiten🤔 Wo ist der 6.Gang? Auslieferung in einem Jahr🌲
oh no, 5 gear??? Really??? After we prayed 20 yearts for such bike, they do everything right but... give it a 5 gear 🙄? Really sad :/. Now, Yamaha is our last hope for the king of lightweight streetlegal Enduros... .
@@SuPreMeBikeRs I have my 2008 WR250R as smallest bike. It is really enough, fun, trustworthy, reliable and so on. But with 350-500cm lightweight Enduro I`d be extremely happy, best thing between the Enduros for travelling and real dirt. At least, so much happened the last years with small Enduros, I was afraid that market segment won`t be served anymore at all.
6 gears is a must. I dont understand why Suzuki made a bike like this? They have a superb chassie in the MX model and then they build a heavy 5 gear bike noone wants? I really thought this bike would become something special.
Incapable of listening? Well there's your business opportunity. Go make 6 gears for this bike. You'll be the first. Not Suzuki, not ACT, not Nova...none of these famous firms have. I wonder why that could be?😏
@@machupikachu1085 but KTM and Honda(crf450l) have, there is no doubt the drz is a good platform for a lightweight adventure bike, but it's inability to cruise comfortably at 65/70mph precludes it from a capable long distance bike. As to why you would point the "opportunity" in my direction and not the manufacturers, is a little confusing.
@@GarryMorgansmith Sure. KTM and Honda have. On their NEW bikes. Does the XR650 have a 6 speed? Why not? All they have to do is put a 6th gear in right? I mean, other brands do it. How hard could it be? You seem like you are coming from a good place with this one, so I'll say this in good faith. The platform is an update - not a clean sheet engine design - and was never engineered to have a 6th gear or overdrive. They simply cannot fit a 6th cog in there. That's why we have never seen a Dr.Z 400 with six speeds, and likely never will. I can't say too much for legal reasons, but trust me when I say Suzuki is playing with the gear ratios to optimize this new model. Cheers!
Suzuki missed the mark. They should have at least gave it the 94mm cylinder (434cc) to get it closer to the 450 capacity & this is a typical worthwhile upgrade done by owners on the existing 400. A 6 speed gearbox would have been nice, but hopefully they changed 3/4/5 ratios to be alittle taller to compensate which again is available on the current 400. I don't think the Ti valves is a good upgrade & the current 400 has no issues with steel valves. This new model needs to outperform the current 400 in every way or its a pointless new model. The Honda CRF450L livens up alot with the Performance Kit/CRF parts & Suzuki is going to be left behind. I have had my Agz434 for 19 years & its done abit of everything & I expected alot better from Suzuki with this new model & it seems they missed the mark by alot.
Agree. Not only dr-z4 is heavier than dr-z400 but it has less power and is going to be much more expensive at least in Finland where suzukifinland.fi has a whopping 11 990€ price on it. In EU it is not possible any longer to manipulate ecu, therefore no big bore kit etc. fun anymore. So the old carburettor dr-z400 with 3x3 mod+jetting+power exhaust etc. is winner over dr-z4 with stock power that cannot be improved. Used Dr-z400 has still relatively high price and the lack of improvement in this new Suzie is only going to make old models to be more desirable for those who know + they can be serviced in your own garage with simple tools. Dr-z400 is kind of wild thing, the new dr-z4 is domesticated and unexciting.
Too bad Suzi Q just couldn’t get it right … waited ALL THESE YEARS ! Still no 6 speed transmission and you did WHAT !? You RAISED THE SEAT HEIGHT !!!!???? WTF were you thinking !!????? It needed to be LOWERED ! To a moderate 33-34” Who the hell are you making these bikes for the Jolly Green Giant !? G DAMN I can’t believe how bad you dropped the ball on this ! FFS 🤦♂️
The only hope is that they changed the gear ratios. The old DRZ had a very long first gear and a very short fifth gear, it's as if it only had three gears, real rubbish
@@SuPreMeBikeRs Understand that modern motorcycles are getting fatter and lazier for safety and environmental reasons. Though, I had higher hopes for a new DR-Z since I like the old version. I have a Suzuki in my garage. Off topic: 2025 will see also new KTM Enduro 390 R and perhaps this will be even more competition than CRF, at least in Europe… KTM is usually tough to beat by weight, power and sometimes even price. And for some the so disputed 6th gear!
Well there's your business opportunity. Go make 6 gears for this bike. You'll be the first. Not Suzuki, not ACT, not Nova...none of these famous firms have. I wonder why that could be?
It doesn’t even come close to a CRF450L. The Suzuki is 20kgs heavier, only has 5 speed and less horsepower! The Honda is king of its class. The Suzuki has a 25 year old engine, lower grade suspension and not as reliable as a Honda. I think you need to go back to school.

Ok for short rides. I don't feel like I left home until after 300 miles.

I love my 2003 drz 400. The bike is bullet proof. All it needed was fuel injection, and weight reduction. Certainly dont need it to be taller. Not sure about all the additional tech. Nice if it works.
Unfortunately for Suzuki a lot of us moved on to other bikes. I just got a Honda 300l Rally, awsome bike, and better than the previous DRZ's in every way except HP.
Yeah still rather have crf 450 rl
Theyve added about 10kg to this new one.
Awsum
That's right! A beautiful motorcycle 🔥🔥🔥
thanks for commenting Neil 🔥
We hope to have it available on the world market in 2025

I haven't heard or seen any info about three colors being offered in the S model, only two options: Yellow/white and Gray. What other color is the S going to be made in?
There are four colors in total with blue!!!
greetings DsD 👊👊👊
What do you think of this new DRZ4? Do you like it or not???
@@SuPreMeBikeRs Correct, 4 colors total (two for the S and 2 for SM) but in the video you said there are THREE colors of the S model, which is incorrect, there's only TWO color choices on the S model: Gray and Yellow/white
Most of the eng upgrades sound like emissions mandated stuff.
At the end of the day it still heavier and slower than like a 2015 350 EXC, not to mention a 500 EXC.
This Suzuki has positive points, but as you say it also has things that we didn't like and that the competition does have!!
greetings Adam ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Could they make that seat any thinner?
The Yellow S model at 2:50 has a low height seat, for short riders.
I need a ladder to reach the seat more than likely
Ik zou absoluut voor de Honda CRF 300 Rally gaan, ik heb de Suzuki 20 jaar geleden gehad in Canada en was er niet echt wild van, maar smaken verschillen hoor, maar bij Honda heb je wel kwaliteit, gaat nooit stuk.

Why wouldn't they take the opportunity to up the displacement to 450cc and add a 6th gear?
I also thought the same!
Perhaps this will entail more investment or a new engine!!!
What I wanted was to reuse the engine from 20 years ago ⚡
@@SuPreMeBikeRs Would be better with bigger bore and stroke!
Yeah, maybe the 6th was needed, but seem the 5th is long!

I have a 18 vstrom 1000xt. I was considering trading it in until I seen it has a 5 speed. I was hoping for a Suzuki DR 450 with efi 6 speed rally version. Ill keep my Strom. It will go 70mph at 4500 rpm. Not great on gas though.
@@Xt1000 We all were , disappointed but have come to expect it from Suzuki.
It could fit if they redesigned the engine. 😃
Excellent bike shame, suzuki stopped selling in the UK .used to green lane with two mates who had these Excellent bikes. If you want a green lane bike, it's just a bit less than full-on enduro bike.
No 6-speed? Why in the world Suzuki stick with the same old 400cc-a bore kit puts it at about 434cc, enough to call it a 450? I'll stick with my 2006 DRZ400s.
I don't know what's wrong with Suzuki engineers who don't listen to users! It's a shame that 5-speed transmission
It didn't cost them anything to put it in 6th gear 🙃
greetingsss Dexter 🔥
I wonder what the top speed is with only five gears. I Dont get why they wouldnt make it a six speed. Especially for the supermoto
Unfortunately, Suzuki engineers believed that a 5th gear was not necessary!!!
This bike can easily exceed 160 km/h or 100 mph
thaksss for commenting Johnathan 🔥🤙
It's easier and cheaper to add useless electronic gizmos than redesign engine cases for a sixth gear unfortunately.
Especially since they had a nice 6sp tranny with the DR350 in the early 90's.
Nice bike .thx suz.thx eu regulation. Again not a chinese but bullit proof bike 🎉
Thank goodness it's not China!!! But Suzuki will most likely manufacture motorcycles there in the future!!

Price will be the determining factor. BTW those who say it has less HP than the KTM should please look at the weighted HP ratio.
Precisely, my friend, that's the case!!
The price is decisive in the future of this Suzuki DRZ4.... Because the competition can eat it up 👊

Like the old DRZ, 150kg is still too much weight for offroad especially with the modest power installed. Unsure this old engine will cope reliably with the added anti emissions measures, I foresee trouble, Suzuki should had develop an entirely new engine, lighter and purposely designed to meet new emissions standards
Undoubtedly this bike has its negative points... but I think there are more positive things!!
What I didn't like was that it lacks a sixth gear!!!
thankss for watching our video Mrpagnu 👊👊👊

Less HP than my KTM 350exc and its 70lbs heavier than my bike as well. Crazy.
Pretty stupid comparison. Crazy even.
@kubabartosiewicz4208 stupid comparison? 😅 What else should i compare the DRZ to? A Honda crf250l? Why would someone buy a underpowered heavy bike like the DRZ when there are so many superior bikes out? That would be the stupid person in my opinion.
KTM cheese engines… no thx :)
@@FabioSantos-uq9ol 😅 I have owned Honda, Yamahas, suzukis for 40+years, then a few years ago I got my first KTM. Hands down a WAY superior bike in every way, and unless u have owned several, I care none to hear feedback as far as dependability. I have owned a 690 enduro and now have a 350 exc, and a 390 adventure, and I have had absolutely no issues, a few of the 790s had issues and pre 2010 they had issues, but nowadays they are just superior on so many levels. All the serious riders in our area depend on nothing but KTMs, and we are all 50+ with many many years of hard riding experience. Mostly enduro. The only bike that comes close is a honda 450rl but still just not race ready. But I would buy it for my teenage boy, honda/yamaha all day long, they are great to tractor around on and learn. But No KTM.

Ive owned 3, 400's one SM, two S's...

the 5speed is what makes it suck, they kept it 5, they can keep the bike.......
It is a very serious fault to maintain those 5 speeds

@@SuPreMeBikeRs I have my 2008 WR250R as smallest bike. It is really enough, fun, trustworthy, reliable and so on.
But with 350-500cm lightweight Enduro I`d be extremely happy, best thing between the Enduros for travelling and real dirt.
At least, so much happened the last years with small Enduros, I was afraid that market segment won`t be served anymore at all.

6 Speed is better
Yes sir! It's a shame it doesn't come with 6 gears
a serious mistake on Suzuki's part!
greetings Jaimessss 🔥
6 gears is a must. I dont understand why Suzuki made a bike like this? They have a superb chassie in the MX model and then they build a heavy 5 gear bike noone wants? I really thought this bike would become something special.
No overdrive sixth, they seem incapable of listening, also you are comparing to the restricted version of the CRF.
Sure, because drz is coming also restricted with euro5+
Incapable of listening? Well there's your business opportunity. Go make 6 gears for this bike. You'll be the first. Not Suzuki, not ACT, not Nova...none of these famous firms have. I wonder why that could be?😏
@@machupikachu1085 but KTM and Honda(crf450l) have, there is no doubt the drz is a good platform for a lightweight adventure bike, but it's inability to cruise comfortably at 65/70mph precludes it from a capable long distance bike. As to why you would point the "opportunity" in my direction and not the manufacturers, is a little confusing.
@@GarryMorgansmith Sure. KTM and Honda have. On their NEW bikes. Does the XR650 have a 6 speed? Why not? All they have to do is put a 6th gear in right? I mean, other brands do it. How hard could it be?
You seem like you are coming from a good place with this one, so I'll say this in good faith. The platform is an update - not a clean sheet engine design - and was never engineered to have a 6th gear or overdrive. They simply cannot fit a 6th cog in there. That's why we have never seen a Dr.Z 400 with six speeds, and likely never will.
I can't say too much for legal reasons, but trust me when I say Suzuki is playing with the gear ratios to optimize this new model.
Cheers!
@@machupikachu1085 Correct, same reason the new KLR650 never added a 6th gear, it would require a completely redesigned engine
How is this showing its better than the CRF450?
How about a RM450x .. why is Suzuki just rolling over and dying
It’s what they do.

Danke für deinen Kommentar, Freund

eine große Umarmung 🔥🔥🔥
Suzuki missed the mark. They should have at least gave it the 94mm cylinder (434cc) to get it closer to the 450 capacity & this is a typical worthwhile upgrade done by owners on the existing 400. A 6 speed gearbox would have been nice, but hopefully they changed 3/4/5 ratios to be alittle taller to compensate which again is available on the current 400. I don't think the Ti valves is a good upgrade & the current 400 has no issues with steel valves. This new model needs to outperform the current 400 in every way or its a pointless new model. The Honda CRF450L livens up alot with the Performance Kit/CRF parts & Suzuki is going to be left behind. I have had my Agz434 for 19 years & its done abit of everything & I expected alot better from Suzuki with this new model & it seems they missed the mark by alot.
Agree. Not only dr-z4 is heavier than dr-z400 but it has less power and is going to be much more expensive at least in Finland where suzukifinland.fi has a whopping 11 990€ price on it. In EU it is not possible any longer to manipulate ecu, therefore no big bore kit etc. fun anymore. So the old carburettor dr-z400 with 3x3 mod+jetting+power exhaust etc. is winner over dr-z4 with stock power that cannot be improved. Used Dr-z400 has still relatively high price and the lack of improvement in this new Suzie is only going to make old models to be more desirable for those who know + they can be serviced in your own garage with simple tools. Dr-z400 is kind of wild thing, the new dr-z4 is domesticated and unexciting.
Hold on …. I’ve heard it was a 6 speed !!
Isn’t now ??

Price?
6+ weeks later, the pricing still hasn't been announced yet, at least is hasn't for the North American market
@DualSportDoug for EU it is also not. I would say round about 7-8k
The only hope is that they changed the gear ratios. The old DRZ had a very long first gear and a very short fifth gear, it's as if it only had three gears, real rubbish
I think the transmission will now be short for the first and long for the fifth!!

Off topic: 2025 will see also new KTM Enduro 390 R and perhaps this will be even more competition than CRF, at least in Europe… KTM is usually tough to beat by weight, power and sometimes even price. And for some the so disputed 6th gear!
