in this review we look at Logans 2008 Suzuki DRZ400SM. We discuss why Ditched the Honda Grom in favour of the super moto and how and why super moto's might just be the funnest thing on two wheels.

    This is EXACTLY how reviews should be done. Best review of anything I've watched in a long time.
  • @renetrevino2080
    I just got my DRZ400SM today super excited about it since it’s my first bike!
  • @cartaun5276
    I was looking for a real, comprehensive review of this bike, riders perspective, a real riders perpective. Is very hard to find good videos of riders who actualy use the thing on the twisties. Thank you very much

    Such an underrated channel....

    This was really fun to shoot with you Blake! It turned out even better than I expected!

    Excellent review! As someone who began riding right around the time this bike came out--which was coincidentally the same time EFI started coming to motorcycles en-masse--it's been interesting and a little amusing to see the evolution of the conventional wisdom/group-think on carbs-vs-EFI. It's easy to forget now, but the power delivery on some of the early EFI bikes was HORRIBLE. Like, bad enough to be legitimately dangerous when coupled with a high-output motor. People swore they'd never own an EFI bike! Now, 20 years later, the pendulum has swung so far that you hear people totally dismissing a bike solely for having a carb. Yeah, all things being equal I'd rather have the hassle-free nature of (modern) EFI, too. But I've had several carbureted bikes and honestly never had much trouble with them--in the climate I live in, the way I ride, etc...the only real difference is I can live with it; your mileage may vary. The only real problem with the DR-Z is that it simply lacks any direct competition that would compel Suzuki to invest in updating it. So they don't. It's still a great bike.

    Really well done, entertaining videos man! 👏 Seriously keep it up and you'll have a large audience in no time!

    Just rode by a guy on one of these today! I've thought about getting one of these, but I'd have to choose either a DRZ or DR650. I think the 650's probably the right bike for me, as I'm more of a street bike rider, not a crazy wheelie hooligan! 😁
  • I couldn’t have said it any better myself, I’ve also owned a grom previous to my drz and I absolutely love it. Well done guys
  • @raidentaki7609
    awesome video. local kelowna guy myself, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a BC plate and the okanagan lake on the periphery. found this video while in the process of ditching my sportbike for a supermoto and this is only encouragement.
  • @lizunya1983
    Great review, fantastic production quality too! I look forward to seeing more of your vids
  • @RetiredCHP13374
    Awesome video! At 55 years old, I will pick one up for trips to town, back roads and generally just to be on a bike again!
  • @jasunjames
    I have a 2018 DRZ400SM. It's so fun. Then you add a new header, new exhaust, hot cams, new carb and it just comes alive!
  • @Smackaroni_
    Best review video for any product I’ve seen, really enjoyed watching this edit
  • I have owned at least 12 different bikes since 2001. I had a drz two bikes ago. Big mistake trading it. But guess what!? I'm back on a 2020 drz 🤤🥰 I missed it so much!
  • @KSMotoCafe
    Hey another BC motovlogge here. I came here during my research for DRZ (hopeful second bike) and so far this review has been my fav! Love your style of review. Subbed
  • @VTMNSPD
    That intro was amazing, I did not expect such a top tier video. Easily subbed 👍
  • @Unblockable
    Wow, the production is so good. I hope your channel grows and I can't wait for new content.

    Just got a 2019 DRZ 400, it’s been a blast ever since. Still have it stock for now. First bike ever rode, get some upgrades next season. Have fun everybody.
