  • With several new Dual Sports being introduced in 2021, there are several that remain the same.. Decades later the DRZ400 is a bike that stands the test of time, released in 2000 with the S model, the DRZ still exists to this day and the only update it has seen is BOLD NEW GRAPHICS. With new motorcycles like the CRF300L, with modern fuel injection and a proper 6 -speed wide ratio transmission, how does the DRZ compare?
    In today's video we address just that.

    I know a lot of DRZ owners will be triggered by this and that's okay, let it all out. I don't think it's a bad bike I just think there are better options. At the end of the day ride what gets you off!

    Drz rider for 6 years, have ridden a 250l and the 300, both lack power and torque, the suspension is waaaaaay too soft, even compared with the Drz. they do feel lighter, and the Drz does feel old, but hell I feel old too, so it's comfortable. After the zombie apocalypse I'll take the Drz everytime and be happy about it. But you are entitled to your opinion, but a refit likely means we'll lose the Drz all together, and less competition is never a good thing.

    Just bought a DRZ 400s last weekend. I've always rode motocross bikes, last being a CRF450R. I started hitting trails on it and it didn't work out well. It didn't like the idling and it was way to snappy for the slicker hills. So far the DR-Z has been way easier too manage in the woods, as well as on gravel. Same day I bought it I took it out for a ride knowing nothing about it, and never having ride one. It was so user friendly it felt like I'd rode it many times. Hours of soft trails and gravel roads. I even hit a back highway and it didn't make me nervous even at 65 mph. No shakes or unstable feel. I did a couple little cosmetic upgrades too it this week and im hoping I'll get too take it out and put it through the paces on more wooded terrain, so far seems like a decent bike and I bought it for a quarter what my crf cost

    Dude I did a comparison of these two bikes myself. Its cool to see another persons perspective, I watch a ton of your videos. I agree a ton of what your saying about the DRZ, even tho the 300L weighs only like 10lbs lighter it feels 40-50lbs lighter. Also my DRZ vs Honda 300L comparison/review got a ton of hate. People who have never even rode the 300L will talk so much crap just people they see numbers on paper.

    I was in the market for a used dual sport. I researched them all. The 650 cc bikes are all heavier than I want to deal with. The non-Japanese bikes are too expensive. So, I narrowed it down to the DRZ400S, CRF300L, KLX300, and WR250R. From my research, you can't go wrong with any of the 4, but the DRZ400S seemed to be the best bang for the buck. The WR250R is priced insane on the used market around here and the KLX300 and CRF300L aren't too far behind. I'm not going to be riding 60 + mph, so the 5 speed doesn't bother me. The carburetor doesn't bother me either. Fuel injection would be nice. The DRZ400S also seemed more durable than the others. The suspension is better too. Honestly, if they all cost the same, I'd still choose the DRZ400S and the CRF300L would be my last choice. The KLX300 seems superior to the CRF300L to me. It has a little more power and better suspension. If cost wasn't a factor, I'd get a Beta.

    I bought my DRZ brand new 15 years ago. I got a full FMF pipe and jetted it along with opening up the air box. The torque is great I never attempted to climb a hill that I could not conquer. The only issue was the weight but my friend's brand new 250 Yamaha that weights about the same only with less power so I guess I can't complain. I have ridden at 6 to 7000 feet and hadn't noticed any significant power lost. If I want to get a better bike I would need to get a Husqvarna/KTM and spend $13000 OTD. Until I am willing to pull the trigger I will stay with the DRZ. Oh yeah, it's very reliable too.

    I'm FAR happier with my DRZ than I was my 250L. It's just so fun to ride.

    Suzuki got the V-Strom pretty damn close to perfect... You also know the Vearsys is a Kaw product, yeah? Conventional wisdom is that the DRZ isn't updated because it can't meet emissions standards now and any update would cancel out its being 'grandfathered' in. Fun vids on your channel though. I enjoy it.

    I just bought my DRZ400S used a couple months ago. The previous owner did the jet carb + air box mod. I threw on a 47 tooth rear sprocket... and man does this baby rip through trails and hills. It scares me sometimes... I have to remind myself to slow down. I might go back to a 44 tooth rear... the throttle is so snappy. But it's a beast. Definitely makes me look like a good rider when in reality it's my first off road bike haha! Only thing I find myself grumbling about is the height.
