Buying Used Suzuki Supermoto DRZ400SM (dr-z, drz 400)| Test Ride + Impressions + Exhaust Sound

Published 2018-11-24
Today on Jon's Moto Garage we're checking out a 2013 Suzuki dr-z400sm. That's right, my friends, it's a SUPERMOTO! I've hinted in other vids that I was keeping an eye out for one of these. This wasn't necessarily my "dream supermoto," but the deal was hard to pass on and it'll make for a good starter and step up from the grom for the wheelie sessions. Enjoy the test ride and my first impressions ever mobbing around on a supermoto!

Gear I Use:
Lapel Mic w/GoPro Hero5 Connection (everything you need for audio setup): amzn.to/2Wzw6W1
Simpson Bandit Ghost Helmet: amzn.to/2Go1RLI
GoPro Hero 4: amzn.to/2t38USf
Fox Gloves: amzn.to/2D30OOj

  • @haljarvis1854
    ya stole it. would bring 4500 ish here, especially with the aftermarket pipe, bars, etc.
  • @dannyrodriguezz
    Hey Jon, now that you know this bike like the back of your hand can you make a video on what to look for when buying a used one? Thanks love your videos!
  • @1980andres
    Hey man, when doing a wheelie, are you relying on the brake for control or the throttle? To me it seems like you keep your throttle at one spot and use your brake to keep your position

    Also has an aftermarket headlight, the factory is a sealed glass beam(junk) headlight, also pretty sure those are the factory bars. With having the exhaust it most likely has a jet kit and the “3x3 air box mod” as they all go together and are a very popular modification. I’ve had 2 of these bikes 2008&2014 and I’d say you got a pretty good deal and there is definitely room to make some money, that pipe is around $500 new on its own!

    Bout to get a used 2014 drz400sm on Wednesday, this is a little more expensive but its been maintained and is really well mint. I'm def. getting this bike.
  • Good price! I was looking at 06-07 models recently for that price....
  • @davidhoward8951
    I'm looking at a 2014 for 4000 tricked out exhaust system but it has the bigger box in the Jetta carburetor my question is how do you tell the difference between a Supermoto with or someone made it's a Supermoto

  • @tpow2651
    You got a good deal dude. I just bought my 2018 for 6800. Gonna be paying on it for 6 years lol. These are good bikes to buy used. Some guys have well over 24k on their bikes
  • @tremblence
    I have a 2006 Drz400sm I'm wondering if I should sell it, or keep it and sell it later (if it rises in price) Do you think it will rise in price, or should I just sell it (I don't ride it much) It is jetted, fmf headers and exhaust, dry cell battery, 3x3 mod, basically new tires and 9650 miles Any help would be greatly appreciated
  • @Micscience
    You got a good deal. You can't find a DRZ400 where I am from as new as yours and as clean for that price. I found a few in the 3k range but they are beaters yours is a lot nice and the ones I found our early 2000's like 2002-2006 the most.
  • @brettkovak6344
    I live in the north east and that bike around here we go oh $4500 easy you did well! Plastics are easy to fix as long as it’s mechanically sound enjoy it
  • @Fastie
    Hey bro sick bike! Would you mind sharing how he has the KTM headlight mod installed? Like how the headlight is mounted? Is it using the rubber straps that are included? Do they just wrap around the forks? Installing mine shortly just having a bit of trouble finding a place for them the straps to go. Cheers
  • @ntme9
    I just bought a brand new 2019 for a sale price of 6200 and an out the door with tt&l for 7500.
  • @ramblindave91
    How many miles? I'm looking at a 06 with 9k miles the guy wants to trade for my 93 4runner it has a completely rebuilt engine Doug thorley headers & some other new parts. Do you think it's worth an even trade??
