MX5 any day . Better looking and more practical as an everyday car

Ya know, i have an interesting problem with bikes ---- they've gotta be on/off road capable. Same w my vehicle/car, needs 4wd/awd and a few inches of suspension travel. Suppose its a bit of personal thing, or rather prepper sense - I just wouldnt spend my money at this point in time on any other types of transportation. I sold my last bike, and contemplated a cruiser... But, just cant bring myself to buy an overweight / road limited bike. Not so oddly, I have never sold my old tw200. GDam LOVE that bike! ...DRZ SM may be the missing link for me - increased power, off road/dirt bike suspension, but more road oriented than the TW w the SM setup.

Z400 new or dz400 sm use?😅

Bro you sound like you have aids lol

WOW fantastic video 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲 Keep producing more videos about the DRZ.(I will get one soon after this review)

best bike ever. i got a gsxr750 but it just is wayy too fast for normal street riding. drz is perfect for what i need

I gained 4mph after pipe ,airbox, jet kit,I can now ride in 5th at 40mph i couldn't before only on highway

Honestly im impressed with my brakes on my 23 drz400sm, i own 3 litre bikes

I still struggle trying to wheelie my drz400sm, i put exhaust on it ,jet kit,3x3 mod

Thats why i use the quadlock phone mount

Would you recommend buying used or new? Used drz400sm around hsv al is upwards 5k a pop varying years.

Thank you for reviewing the bike on the roads it's made for. If I watch another review on the freeway/city streets I'm gonna barf.

Honestly it doesnt even look that bad. It looks like a Boxter on a budget, maybe even a bit better. The rear definitely looks better than on the MK2. The MK2´s rear lights are just absolutely fugly.

From a British point of view these are much better when it comes to corrosion. These don't rust like an MX5's. Many of the MX5's are rotten in the UK. I have done 24k in my MR2 and the whole load space thing is way over-stated. It has decent enough space behind the seats, granted it's not as easily accessed as a conventional boot/trunk. I have a BMW e39 sedan and the MR2 is pretty much my daily driver as it's better on fuel.

Pre cats where an issue for the 2000-2002 models I believe they fixed them in the 2003-05

I’ve driven the MX-5 and the MR2. I prefer the latter much more.

Excellent video. You’re knowlege on these cars is pretty impressive. Would you go for an NA Miata, the MR2 Spyder or a 350z convertible if the money was the same? Which do you think is most collectible if you could find one with under $100k miles?

Not a very good ram mount advertisement

had a 2005 MR2 and now have a 2008 MX-5. The MR2 was fun and small but I actually like my NC Miata more. drives better, more comphy and still feels like driving a go cart.

We have a right hand drive one in the UK and has a hard top. It’s a fun drive.

great video man, I appreciate the quality of your production and your honest opinion. And also you recorded some wicked sound clips of this. Very nice.

Fuel injection next year?🤔

Sumos are neat but as a jack of all trades rider i would pick the dual sports version

Definitely watching this video like man I really want to ride my favorite road. Then I see the lake at the end and camping… oh this is my favorite area to ride 😂. Love riding to the top of that peak! Great review also!

Wait at 33 min you said your first DRZ blew up at 20k because it has exhaust and 3x3 but no jet kit?!?!?! Oh boy, cause the one I’m buying Monday is used and the same deal, 3x3 with yoshi exhaust but no jet kit…. Is that what caused it to blow up???? What do I need to do to make sure it won’t blow up. I’m a noob :) please help that made me not want to buy it

These handle better than any miata I can tell you that much Never felt handling like this car. It corners like it’s on rails. My miata would understeer and also oversteer. Although that could maybe have been the tyres But the MR2 sticks to the road. I’ve had it 4 days and I already prefer it to my mk1 miata hands down Except for the looks. They don’t look terrible, just a bit odd

I tried out a Miata, Bmw, and mr2 The miata has great breaks, the Beemer is like a Miata on steroids, the MR2 is more like a lotus, way better handling more precise steering etc.

Dont get it misunderstood, the drz is quick, not fast. Top speed is is about 100mph, but light to light i’ve beaten a lot of bikes under 1000cc.

Do you have stock handlebars or do you use Pro tapers I was thinking about using a Pro Taper high rise Dr high rises

Is 1zz better more torque than the 2zz 6sp?

My first bike wws a yamaha wr125r and eventually at 19 i went to a drz400 08 and all i can say is it feels the exact same other than power obviously. I have a yamaha mt07 aswell which is obviously quick but in my opion it will never beat a supermoto they are just extremely fun 😮‍💨

Love that car! When I found out the price when new, Toyota are morons! That's why it didn't sell!

Just got mine after learning to ride on a Himalayan. So happy I went with it. Love it. Can’t wait to put knobs on it.

Should i be afraid og getting a 2006 with 18k miles and has a full service history?

Drz is the ultimate Apocalypse bike imo

My 2003 paradise blue with the wider wheels in the rear looks fantastic and I get approached all the time because people in the states have no idea what the car is!

would have like it but you were swearing

Mr2 runs fine on regular gas. The Mazda needs premium I'm told.

There are storage compartments behind the seats.

The mr2 has storage cupboards behind the seats which the equivalent mx5 hasn't got

Highway isn’t fun. Boring for this bike. But it does just fine going along 65-72. It’s ok to run this bike at 6-7000 rpm steady. Look on adventure rider there’s guys ride these all over. Obviously it’s not super comfy. But with a better seat I can do a theee hour drive and be perfectly comfortable afterwards. Gonna try longer soon I think.

KAWASAKI KLR 650cc 40 HORSES THIS SUZUKI DR WITH 400cc 40 HORSES,,THIS BIKE ITS JUST AMAZIN💪💪

Do they make a aftermarket tachometer for this?

I'd Say it's safe for highway use unlike myn2023 Honda XR150L

Im thinking of taking my e36 out there in a couple months for a track day. It’s my daily driver so any tips on what needs to be done to the car get it home safe? lol

How did you learn to wheelie without hurting yourself or wrecking your bike?

nice roads!!

This road is amazing, especially for the drz. Great vid

suzuki still the best,, 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
