I purchased a used 2005 DRZ400s low miles only 2100 and it was very clean, I paid $3,800 it had lots of modifications already done, new exhaust, 4gal tank, kick starter, jet kit. anyway I really like it and it fits my needs well. I can ride it from home to the mountains, I can go on trails if I want, I’m 65 and at this point in my life I’m not looking for the deepest mud hole to play in, I just like getting out of the house and enjoying the world. Happy adventures.
I hear ya. I'm 54 and I just want to ride, no wheelies, just some rides into the Georgia mountains and along the Florida beaches. This bike is perfect for that.
Nice. My biddy just got one too. Held over from last year. Already buying some dirt wheels. This is his 2nd SM. Exploded his first at bout 25000 miles we did a complete build....stroker 470. After messing with it. The valves hit the piston while put riding....kaboom. So new one now. Great bikes. My 2011 has 54,000 miles on it. And she runs better than it did new. Highly higly modified. FYI...the S does do awesome on the road. She will cruise at 80 mph all day long with 50lbs of gear on board. And do it for days on end. Love it.
Just got the exact same bike a week ago, it was $6300, after all the fee's it was at a little under $8k. Well worth it i too was looking at the crf300/klx300. Ultimately drz400sm was my choice
No mods required, that's for sure. I do have a few preferences though. I bought a few things and will likely make a video of what I changed. It will be very minor like tank bag, foot pegs, etc...
Nice bike. All best from Czech Republic. In my country is has banned from 2007 due to emissions. Unfortunately our European commission knows what it is best for as😢.
Hello, sorry to hear that. Yes, great bike. Lots of the complaints in US about why this bike is using old technology and not upgraded. We are lucky that it was grandfathered in using the old emission standards and a Suzuki is still making it.
Im digging the retro graphics I paid 8k out the door for my 2018 s after the break in I put a full Yoshi exhaust swiss cheese the air box and rejet the stock carb it is a better running bike I used a wideband o2 to tune it and was definitely lean stock yours being newer they now have a pair valve you'll want a delete all these things will make a longer lasting bike I have alot of miles with this setup also recommend change your oil every 1500miles
These bikes are also designed to crash well......I slid out at 30mph on a Asphalt Circle(wet surface), literally picked it up and rode home, Lol. Bar ends and Pegs got some road rash, shifter got bent a little and straightened it with a hammer when I got home....my injuries were extremely minor....tiny bruise on my hip, and my hand got some road rash because my glove had a rip and that's Exactly where my hand contacted the surface, Go figure....somehow my $800 jacket and helmet didn't have a single scratch! But I remember flying off the bike and watching it come at me thinking Wow that was pretty graceful slide...Lol. I've seen regular motorcycles get pretty damaged from less.
Congratulations we love our 22 . Im sure you did ti all ready but check your cain looks a little saddy in the vido proble could use a flat or two . Be safe and #livetoride
00 :48 is what where it looked like it to me . hope your out on something doing some chasing for the both of us i got one more left then im off for a few
@@OM-sb2bd Yea, they wanted to get rid of it pretty bad. I knew that was the case when I started inquiring about a used one they had. They said no they wanted to sell me the 2023 new one. One of the questions I asked is how long they had had the bike. It's been sitting on their floor for a long time, then they're going to be very motivated to sell it.

Thanks for these insights. I would probably buy the s if I did not have a dedicated dirt bike. I owned a dr350 for over 20 years. Great bike also.
Make sure you get case savers!
Congrats on the new bike. I’m a fan of the colors.
Thanks!

Congratulations!! You made the right choice, great bike. Did you have to negotiate to get that price? They started with me at $10.1k OTD.
Great bike I ride mine an hour a day. Reliable as hell at 8500 miles love every minute of it. Was my first street legal vehicle.
Yeah, there isn't anything comparable at the price you can buy one of these at.
Great bike! I have the same one and commute to work everyday.
Don’t mod it it’s perfect the way it is!

Cool. Thanks for the tips!!
Congrats. Thats going to be FUN.
I love and want this bike but over 10k new out the door is crazy for this old technology.. ill buy a used one one day lol
I hear you. It's definitely worth $8K new though if you can't get it. There just isn't anything comparable at this price.
dealerships have no shame omg😭 charging nearly double the listed price is insane
Yeah I was very surprised. This particular dealership has a good reputation in town. That they were trying to screw me over was unexpected
Great bike! Great review.
Thanks! 👍

Make room.. the drz should not be outside... I love mines ... If you do the exhaust, jetting, and airbox... Your good... Take care of it ride safe 🎉
