Trailtech cluster! I don’t know if fab is needed or not as I was not the one to mount it.

Did you just say 5th gear feels like an r6? 😂
@Mikalrowley Ай бұрын
Yes, I meant pull wise. Equally each gear feels like it’s giving the same amount of power, not like - an example: a Grom, where once you get to 4th the power feels like it’s coming to an end if that makes sense!

@Mikalrowley it makes a little sense. Honestly, I didnt mean to just send that. I hit send early, really solid review. The drz is a weird bike man, I feel like 1st is long, second is crazy short, 3 and 4 are quick and then 5 is long as can be to wring out. It's clunky. But it's been the perfect second bike..
@Mikalrowley 29 күн бұрын
Hahahaha it is strange. I have a KLR and I’ve realised it being carbureted is why it feels like that. Just instant power. I don’t own this one it’s my friends he just let me do a review on it. What was the first bike that you got?
@600baddad 29 күн бұрын
@Mikalrowley I started on a ninja 650 a few years ago, then grabbed a cbr600rr and added the drz like 2 months ago. I love the smell of these things when you fire them up...

One of my favourite bikes of all time. Theres a reason it and the DR650 are virtually unchanged since '96 or whenever, Suzuki pretty much got it right the first time... Theres just something extra fun about small displacement bikes, You can play around at the machines peak output and be left wanting just a little bit more, rather than having it try to kill you before you even got her fully opened up... When I heard they would no longer be imported into my country I made sure to get a brand new one off the last shipment, a 2021 in black.

DRZ 400 looks very odd and old school, square mirrors, and blocky brake light, no fuel gauge, headlight looks like its old school. The KLR 650 is the way to go. But I would never put supermoto tires on the KLR, why do you want it to look like a dirtbike yet have supermoto wheels on it? The KLR has Fuel injection and ABS, the Adventure model comes with Adventure lights, all LED, Hard bags with tons of storage, a slip on pipe and airbox modification on a KLR gives it 10% more HP, has 6.5 gallon tank. Does 90 on the interstate easy and you don't see any vibrations at all in the mirrors. (THE DRZ400 only has 31 HP) If you want a "supermoto" get an old 2 Stroke CR250R a new piston / rings is 100$ new plastics and graphics kit is 140$ and supermoto wheels and tires are 900$ (depending) and so potentially be in a supermoto bike that weights 220 lbs for2200$

@@BikingChap That's good, so often I see instructors or others doing the max speed limit on country roads and catching up with everything and then apparently having to overtake everything they come up behind. Don't they know that if they dropped there speed by maybe only 5 mph they wouldn't do any or make only half the overtakes and that journey it would be a much safer one. In police traffic training under general roads patrolling conditions we were advised not to make unnecessary overtakes but to follow and view traffic under normal road going conditions. Its safer that way so what's all this about 'making progress', Its civilian instructors that make an issue with it.
