Why I Went from a 701 Supermoto to a DRZ400 Supermoto

Dope video bro and your definitely right about the stoppies, it feels so natural on thr DRZ

Just discovered your channel and loving the DRZ content (another UK DRZ owner ) you certainly owned the traffic lol looking forward to following your journey.

7:14 Would say this is a real thing. Owned a 2012 for just over a year and in the winter it would want a good couple minutes or it could make it to the shop around the corner and then take another couple minutes to start or cut off at first red light when revs sat a moment. Adjusting the idle/fuel air mix helped, draining float bowl etc. But definitely some situations were you just want to be able to hop on and ride out. Bike is in a league of its own when it comes to the class, perfect for people who like to learn and work on their own.

damn dropping a bombshell on me lol. 701 to drz! with being very close to weight, i figured the 701 would feel like "a drz on steroids" like many online claim. was considering a jump from a duke 390 to the 701 as an all around bike.

Love drzed content! Nice bike. I don’t feel bad no more since I don’t have a husky or ktm

At 3:25 That's what she said:face-blue-wide-eyes::cat-orange-whistling::face-green-smiling:

Haven’t watched it yet but if I had to guess: So you don’t have to spend half the year repairing it instead of riding it.

Keep strong bro, earned a sub

Appreciate the honest pov, carbs are not a big deal unless you get bad gas or let it sit up for long periods. And there's plenty of parts, might even be a lot of DRZ's laying around for parts as well? I hate sensors & crap but I'm only now looking at this bike. Looking at a lot of channels to see what they say.... opinions are like arse-holes, everybody has one ! Thanks again

I think a ktm/husky 500 supermoto is where im going. I wanted a drz but i just cant justify the 2000 tech. I already had a dr650, i know theyre crazy capable but that was fifteen years ago!

If that’s Perris Blvd that damn light never turns green. It’s always the straight light first then the turn light.

I got my 2021 drz400 sm for $6,600 after taxes and paper work. I got it used off Facebook lol. During that time a new drz was 2k over msrp from the lock downs

in europe we unfortunately font get the drz anymore since 2008. the 690 is the only option we have when we want a strret legal sumo thats reliable 😅 you guys are lucky. but fuck 9000 usd out of the door is quite steep though. I paid 9000€ out of the door for my 2020 690 😳

I am a shorter rider and i have heard that the 701 is a very big bike, is it bigger than the Drz?

I agreed with this i use to have this bike and miss alot

I'm about to say screw it and get me one. Been wanting the crf300l or klx300. But everyone saying the drz400 is better if you're wanting something with a little more power and plus there's a stupid high demand on them things and would have to wait 3 to 6 months to even get it! And I can just get the drz and call it a day! I don't mind a carb. Mikuni carb at that..

Crazy, I've rode the drz. Never on the the 701 yet.

Hey G are you in LA? I just got my DRZ and was looking for a group to ride with 👊

I just bought a drz400, can you recommend any break in advise

What year drz400 is that. Looks awesome bro
