IMO the DRZ400S may be the best overall bike there is. It's a bike that will do a little bit of everything relatively well, as it comes right out of the crate. It's a very reliable bike, and it has remained unchanged for many years. There are tons of aftermarket parts made for them, and finding used parts is easy as well. If you're not too sure what type of dirt bike riding you will mostly enjoy, the DRZ400 is good, because you can use it to try just about all types of riding there is on a dirt bike, then you can make necessary changes along the way in order to best suit your riding style. In many instances, people will be able to fine tune this bike to be sufficient for their needs. But if you decide this bike just isn't going to cut it for you, selling it will not be a problem, as there are always people looking for them used, and you shouldn't have much of an issue getting most of your money back out of it, resale value on them is good.

I love my drz400s, second bike (first was a Grom that I have since learning to ride kinda don't like it anymore) and I just wanna ride it everywhere

Awesome little bike for sure !! Cool video

I just bought a 90 DR 350S. I've been working on her, getting the kinks loose. She's a hog hunter thumper.

Hey buddy cool little video. I'm surprised how green your forests are already. Starting to get pretty green here in Southern Pennsylvania, we've had a lot of cold days this spring. Only a few warm days. I have an old dirtbike 93 kawasaki kx250. Haven't been able to ride it for a couple years, but my friends have been bugging me to ride with them so I got some new tires and I'm gonna put clutch plates in then see if I can still ride that big beast. Lol You gotta wheely through those puddles so you don't get splashed buddy. Lol Take care and I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers 🍻

Practically in my back yard..,Albert mines..

Last time I was there, there was a few feet of snow. Your video reminded me summer’s coming. Thanks for sharing

That looked SO fun man. NB trails are the best. I always think about how much fun a lighter KLX 300 would be on stuff like this, but I'd take the KLR through that stuff all day. Bring on Summer.

Yeh Just love the DRZ400. Do you canadians say driving a dirt bike?, we say riding. If there is roundish rocks around reset your front tyre pressure.

OMG, I miss riding dirt bikes. What a great time we had when we were kids! Mathews 60! Leafs clinch HIA in the 1st round! YEEEEHAW! Go Buds!

Got me wishing I never sold my dirt bike 🤦🏻‍♂️ lol

Have to get back to those trails in behind Hillsborough...great trails! Great content as always - made me want to ride a dirt bike! Fun times! Keep em' coming Buddy!

Awesome view from the GoPro, that really took me back to my dirt bike days. Let’s see, I already have the riding gear from the Grizzly……..great, now ya got me thinking about a new dirt bike!

I love mine!! It's the perfect Middle Ground bike!.....good power on pavement, but not Too intimidating off-road either.....I've been riding Street Bikes for 10 years, so I'm used to Very fast Bikes..... yet 400cc is PLENTY of power on the road!!.....it's like a tall Cadillac.....gears are short, so you're doing 60mph in Only a few seconds. It's a tall bike, but very light compared to Street Motorcycles, so it's Very easy to balance and manage, you quickly get used to it. I guess it's considered heavy by dirt bike standards, but I'm used to picking up 500lbs bikes off the asphalt, so I have ZERO worries of picking this bike up, even in the mud or sand......it weighs nothing to me....but it doesn't feel "that" light doing 65mph either......the problem is many people Don't know how to ride and expect the bike to do everything for them.

Yeaaah buddy! That looked like a blast, can't wait to hit the trails again...if this silly rain/wet snow can take off. That DR sounds nice, a lighter machine would be a treat. Thanks for sharing, anf keep well! (Stinkin' Leafs... lol... I'm happy for you, glad they clinched, Matthews' on fire!)

Evan Has A Sweet Ride ! Thanks For The Trail Ride, Brother Hi Wendell. ATB T God Bless

Nice ride. Sounds great.

as a fun or endurobike sure great- has e-start- is rel. light and the motor has great service intervalls;-)

Hey Maritimer just found your channel! I own a DRZ400 and love it! Check out TrailTrashADV and TrailTrashGarage we are just south of you in Nova Scotia. Great to see another Maritimer!!

Nice trails!

Nova Scotia?

Open er up a lil bud

What the..? That’s no Grizzly either. 😳 Right voice - wrong engine sound… does not compute..error

Do you happen to know if your friend upgraded the carburetor to an FCR pumper carb, or did he just rejet the stock CV carb?

Man, I think the DRZ400 would be a great all-around trail/dirt bike for an older guy like me to ride miles of forest roads and desert trails. Looked like it would be fun to have for daytrips to explore from base camp. I'm sure it could be ridden faster (more as a dirt bike) but it seemed really capable to leisurely cruise along trails without much drama. I could tell in your voice how much you really liked it, too. Maybe see it more often soon?! Peace! Pete - KI7LIL

You need a WR450 to match the Grizzly

Little more throttle next time. Ok thanks

Does your dad ever come to the bikers here in truro cause I think they are having one this year

I'm sorry but you've said more than once... FYI, one does not DRIVE a motorcycle. One always RIDES a motorcycle.

The atv is better for this kind of trails
