- Today, I test ride a 2015 Suzuki DRZ-400SM. The DRZ is a factory supermoto that is known for dependability and reliability. The old-school machine is built to last and is one of the most popular supermotos. The tough machine is a blast to ride and is a true WHEELIE BIKE!!! Enjoy the video, and SUBSCRIBE TODAY!!!
Came for the DRZ content subscribed for the personality keep the vids coming man!!!
You guys rock. Grinning from ear to ear. This just made up my mind. Let the good times roll👍🏻🇬🇧
I have been debating for a while now between the DRZ400SM and the WR250X. This video actually made the decision for me. WR owner gets on a DRZ and the worst thing he can say about it is that its not fuel injected, that's pretty good. Also, the comments about stability and how it feels bigger helped me decide which bike was more fitting for what I'm looking for. I'll be getting a DRZ. Thanks!
Ive owned both now, my general consensus was that the DRZ actually feels better on the street and the WR feels better offroad, so if you buy the DRZ, get the SM and if you get the WR, get the 250R. The DRZ is heavier, but it just feels a lot more planted in the corners. My current DRZ has a 434 Overbore, Hot cams, and an FCR carb and it KILLS on the street.
I'm buying a DRZ400SM. Was torn between the DRZ and the WR. This video helped make my decision. Great video.
Nice vid! Had a buddy wheelie one of these for a mile in the skate vid. So dope
The DRZ can wheelie forever!!!
Got a '16 with the gold rims, those rims just sold me, haha.
I have a 09 drz with Honda xr wheels and I love it :) by the way im 6'3'' and feels great really high
The DRZ is definitely great for being a hooligan. I have an 09 and am buying the 2017 soon. I've done all kinds of crazy stuff on my DRZ from trails to motocross and actual supermoto racing. And I can't even count how many times my neighbors and people around town have called the cops on me. lol
Woodland Warrior why do you buy the same bike again? It stayed the same for the last 10+ years
thats the whole idea, the value stays the same
Ah, the throttle response is a piece of cake since i am coming off of a carburated 125. I think a drz is the perfect step up! :D
a WR guy that's into a DRZ I love it
you gotta edit these things down man, you repeated some stuff like 5 times
You should def have more subscriber bro.
Drz400sm is a total blast to ride, the definition of Fun! P.S. except that dam seat.
Thank you for making this video it's very informative. I'm seriously considering buying one of these things. I'm 53 years old and getting off a cruiser... not kidding. I'm thinking of going back to my dirt bike roots but I like riding on the street. Be fair, for a guy who rides only on secondary roads and rarely exceed 60 mph and never does wheelies would I be satisfied on this bike? Thank you in advance!
Rich Vogel how could you not be satisfied ? Lol I'm 47 and haven't grown up yet , ride diet and dual sports and am on the market for a new bike ... I may have found what I want in the DRZ
Awesome! Hope I see you guys wheelie-ing around dtla.
Thinking of getting a grom, but starting to think a drz might last me longer.
Would it be worth it just to grom then bump up? or just go for the drz
wtflip620 get a twin turbo h2
Question. Are all drz400sm automatic transmission
Subbed bro!
I thought my DRZ's 2nd gear is annoyingly short even with the 15/39 sprocket, but I guess I can't complain anymore if the WR250X has shorter 2nd.
is the seat height the exactly the same as the dr650?
what a guy!
How many km's should you expect out of a drz400sm?
How much does a 2015 DRZ400sm cost thank you for replying
pretty sweet video you should ride a WR450SM if you know anyone who has one, then do a comparison of the drz and the wr450. youll be a big fan of the WR450.
+lawdvader I wish i could find a WR450 but you can't get a street legal version in Cali.
+Wicked Devil oh really I didn't know that. Hmm I live in Washington state and got mine but the dealer has to do a few things to get it plated.
Sheeit that Drz400sm whips up quick you just gotta know the technique.
MotoMark is a beast
Love the video I may have just made a deal on something of the sort ;) lol
Thinking about getting a new drz,,, but u mentioned that 12k miles was a lot.... i currently have 60k miles on my 15' fz07... would a drz be a reliable or do they have less life than that before problems start coming up?
Do oil changes often and maintain it and it's no problem. My neighbor has a 2015 and it's at 36,000km now no problem. He said have to check the valve lash every 20,000 or 24,000km and adjust if needed. Been a really solid bike, they've been making them forever and pretty much unchanged in the engine department, as the saying goes if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'm about to buy a Drz400sm is less than a year, something to suggest me with this bike? and if I'm slick can I 2 up on this?
+XLouisGamerX bike has passenger pegs i 2 up all day on it.
Nice :D
+XLouisGamerX Yep, I have a 2015 DRZsm. It handles a passenger no problem. It is a great bike for getting into wheelies too. =P
XLouisGamerX I have a drz400e with f39 carb and plated. i love it
How is this on dirt roads?
I love everything about my DRZ400SM, but the only thing I hate a bit about it is it's a bit heavy combined with it being a little too tall for me. I can only stand toe by toe on it, but it's a good thing I wear dirt bike boots to take advantage if its stiffness to keep it standing. I really hope my suspensions will break in soon(been riding it daily for two weeks now) so the bike would lower to another 1 inch then it will eventually become a perfect bike for me.
Yes, I've shaven the seat 1 inch lower before my first ride, and will not tamper with the suspensions.
How tall are you? I'm 5'6 and I want to get a drz400sm this riding season. I figured id have to lean to one side when stopped.
+DemocracyOfHypocrisy I'm 5'6", 30" inseam. You'll be fine riding one, but I highly recommend either buying a low seat or shaving it down 1 inch. It helps, and I rarely drop my bike now.
+E2Moto
Yeah I plan too, I don't want to mess with the suspension either. I think I have a 31" inseam so I should be alright. The bikes hard to find used in my area though.
Just buy it brand new if you can afford it and plan to settle with it. That bike could take a lot of beating, and still keep going.
+E2Moto
I've found a couple 2014-2015s with low miles for under $5-6k which is where i want to stay on price. I think one of them was new. Still not in my area though. They're just hard to find around here.
Is the SM meant as a dual sport or just street?
SM stands for SuperMoto
The sm is made for road use.
The s is made for offroad
The e/y are enduros for competition
What are the maintenance intervals on the drz400sm?
Around a million miles, or something.
but fr, suzuki says every 6000km(3 728.2 miles), some users say every 2000km(1 242.7 miles)
It's safe to say they are durable.
oil change?
+HUSTLINISMYGAME yee
how often do you have to clean the carb?
+HUSTLINISMYGAME you shouldn't have to clean the carb if the bike is maintained and treated properly.
wait... are you on the drz400?
FckoffyoutubeIdontwanttousemyfullname beat me to it lol
There is only about 20lbs difference between the 400sm and the wr250x..
sounds like suburbandeliquent with a hint of bakerxderek
I Know right!
You gotta say "uhhhh" some more 😏
wr is like 298 lbs and drz is 220. so not much difference. i think ill go with the drz
drz400sm stock weight wet is around 300lbs
This dude sounds a lot like "thatdudeinblue"
You sound like my friend
You and him legitimately sound the same it's creepy as fuck.
That's cause it's not his friend, it' his clone.
Dude don't you like carburetors lol?
If you get a better carb you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between carbonated or fuel injection
D....RRRR...Z
