Five Things I LOVE About My Suzuki DRZ400

There are many things to love about a dual sport motorcycle as amazing and capable as the Suzuki DRZ400, but I've done my best to narrow them down to the top 5 best things I love about my Suzuki DRZ400s. In this vid, we'll talk about the many amazing features of all the different versions of the DRZ (DRZ400E, DRZ400S, and DRZ400SM) and the fantastic versatility of this great dual sport bike. Few motorcycles I've ridden can compare to the pure joy that comes from riding a DRZ. The DR-Z 400 has a throttle that just begs to be twisted, and no matter if you're riding on road, off road, on the highway, or deep in the backcountry on some trails, this bike has more smiles per mile than any other I've ever ridden. The DRZ is also insanely versatile and capable of filling many roles including commuter bike, adventure bike, motocamping machine, dedicated trails bike, and many more. Of all the motorcycles I've owned in my life, the DRZ may be my favorite, and in this video I'll explain all the reasons I love my Suzuki DRZ 400S.

Tomorrow is my NEW BIKE DAY. Yes, I finally get to pick up my 2021 DRZ400s and I am so stoked.

[kdenmoto]

Just bought a DRZ a few weeks ago after years of riding big, heavy, fast bikes. The DRZ makes me feel like a kid again. It’s great.

I am officially part of the drz400 community as of today. Can't wait to see what adventures I go on

[joelstephens]

DRZ is the meeting point between power/weight/use/reliability Lightweight enough cut up singletrack, enough power to dice with much bigger bikes, and Japanese bikes, it's starts every time. The essence of dual sport

In 45 year of riding motorcycles, owned over 14 different brands, and I dare not say how many total number of bikes 😱, and the DR-Z is one of only two bikes I liked so well I’ve owned them twice 😜. Bought a “S” model in 2016, “fixed” its fueling issues, rode it for a couple of years and came the the realization that even though my brain was saying “You’re 16 🤪!”, my body was telling me I was actually 60 🙁, so I sold it, regretted selling it, so in 2020 I purchased an “SM” model 😃👍.

I have run DRZ400s for almost 20 years and still own the first one I bought brand new in 2002. I have gone waaay off the beaten path and have never been concerned about breaking down. I have even taken them from TX to 12k ft in CO without a new jet and she had enough torque to overcome the loss from altitude. Great bikes.

Wherever I'm riding the drz I have the biggest grin in the world! I wish my helmet was transparent so everyone could see my stupid smiling face lol.

As someone who's owned a 2007 KLR, 2012 XR, and 2 DR's 2013 & 2019.

Now that I'm getting older the smaller lighter bikes that my friends let me ride have convinced me they are the future of Dual Sport enjoyment. I never cruise at faster than 65 mph. That's really the major benchmark for top cruising speed for me here in the US.

I have been riding the honda XR 650l but my buddy got my son on his drz 400 his first time so after watching this tells me my son who is now 17 and 6 foot 3 will be getting a drz 400 this sunmer! Thanx man good video!

[hpiproceedpcp]

I love my drz400 I’ve been following you since the crf250L which I bought and didn’t like I then went ahead and bought the drz400 and man I can’t stop smiling when I ride !

[lqudmtlIV]

I am part of the DRZ choir, preach to me, brother! lol

[chadwickchaplin]

My local dealer called me today letting me know that they finally have one back in stock. Immediately put a deposit down to secure it and am picking it up tomorrow. Damn I’m excited.

[BoyFindsTako]

I feel the same...I’m selling my cruiser because I never ride it. It’s so heavy and so much work to ride. My favorite bike to ride over all the bikes I have ever owned.

[ThatGuy-Noob_]

Just wanted to say you are a legend... I watch all you content and you are my inspiration for getting back to adventure. Used to have a dirt bike and have missed it since did some research on duel sports (by finding your videos) I just got my very own DRZ 400s so all I can do is thank you so much for just being a straight up guy.... and keep being "excellent" Ps. This is my very first motorcycle.

[JustinHuhn]

Great video. New DRZ owner and I’m in love. The low-end torque is fantastic. VERY fun first motorcycle. Thanks for the inspiring content!

[CraigSmith]

I have a SM version and it is a blast. I love that it is carbureted. So cheap and easy to change the fueling if I make a mod.

[keninthewind]

Hey Ben, I just picked up a 2020 and I am loving it!

[michaelhodges]

The 2020 scheme is the best year. I love my 2020 400s after 500 miles! Agree with you on everything. Fixing to do my first oil change at 600 miles. I just have to work on quieting down my Duval skid plate. Real noisy from vibration. Bought some window seal foam I’ll put in between plate and frame. Hopefully it will quiet it down. Wish I had that beautiful country to ride in.🏍😊

[shawnolson]

You sold at "Caveman" I too think the black one looks the best though that gray one is nice too. I also like the white one :)

[mikebrown]

I've had my drz for almost 3 years now, so much fun . It has 2 years on the ACT wide ratio gear set now, no problems and i don't use the clutch very much . I have a big bore kit waiting to be installed . To many other mods to list . Bought it new . Oh i run 14/48 sprockets and beat the crap out of this thing regularly .
