Congratulations on the GS Boxxy! 👍 I’m glad you seem to be healing well. Those were some pretty big ouchies! My 890 Adventure left and a T7 appeared in its place. 😂 the T7 is at my dealership getting some mods that I didn’t want to tackle like accessory lighting, hardwiring my Garmin, larger Acerbis tank, and Yamaha is getting me a new clutch because they had some issues with a rust inhibitor reacting with the clutch plates and oil. It’s also good to hear you’ve still got the 300 Rally. 👍 Take care!

My experience is a different than yours. I am a road rider, touring on HD and Victory(now on an 18 Goldwing) but mostly I did enduro riding, bombing around tight New England trails... Age(and a career change where I need use of my limbs) caught up with me and I decided to cut way down on the single track\hard enduro and move to more ADV riding. I initially wanted a mid-sized ADV but as I investigated and looked at the options, I realized they weren't what I was looking for. What I needed was a true dual sport and for me it came down to the DRz400, DR650 or XR650l. After months of looking over the options and what was available I finally found the right bike at the right price, I snagged a 2020 slightly modified DRz400s with 900 miles. I'm really looking forward to where this bike will take me 👍

I looked at all 3 of these too. Went with the DRZ400. I live in Southeast MO, grew up racing motocross in SoCal. I’m 48 now. While the Kawi, and the Hondo, (yes hondo) were good. The DRZ was GREAT! The gearing felt better off-road, and the suspension was a million times better. (5’10 190lbs) the Hondo bottomed out like crazy, on the smallest of whoops, and the Kawi was a bit stiffer, but not much better. DRZ could probably handle a Moto track, not even joking. I was jumping that bad boy. No comparison on power, bigger motor= more power, no brainer. I can do 70mph on the freeway, and still have the juice to pass. Yes, no 6th overdrive gear is nice on the other 2 bikes, but I have a Harley for cruising on the highway. These bikes are for the dirt IMO, and in the dirt the “dirty DRZer” is king out of the 3. For sure the Kawi, and especially the Hondo, are cool AF in the looks department, but (maybe cuz I’m old) the DRZ has an endearing retro quality that I really love. To me, the Rally should be compared to the KLR 650, it’s a different category. And in that category I would take the proven reliability of the KLR. When a bike has been around, unchanged for 20+ years, like both the DRZ, and KLR, the amount of parts, and support can’t be ignored. Both bikes have proven themselves on every Continent. ItchyBoots is doing well with the Rally right now, but this is just the beginning of the legacy. So to wrap it up, old, beat up, dirt riders… DRZ400, young, capable rippers who weigh 135lbs wet the other 2 might get you laid.

@Stagmuffins7 ай бұрын
It seems that everyone that chooses the smaller bikes over the DRZ for "off-road" are only puttering around at <10 mph on single-track. That's fine if it's all you're doing but I'd much rather ride ATV trails at speed and take some sweet jumps and the DRZ is a lot more enjoyable there. It also helps that it's by far the best looking since it's available in decent colors; the eye-searing Fisher Price red of the Honda and plastic-toy tractor green of the KLX are both pretty awful looking. But different strokes and all that. They're all nice bikes; it's just that the DRZ is king until you step up to KTM/Husq/Beta.

I think I’ll give this a try. I love my 790 Adventure R and avoid long stretches of highway (that’s why I bought it after all) but sometimes you gotta. I just did 840 miles down I5 from Seattle to San Francisco and it was miserable. The windscreen is worse than nothing. At 5’11” all wind was directed right at my helmet and it was noisy and exhausting, giving me ringing ears and aching neck and shoulders. I had planned on a long backcountry ride but weather and fires prevented it so I just bombed home. No fun. The weird thing is that I never had the problem as bad with the sport bikes I’d always ride on long trips, and it’s not like they had full coverage windscreens. It would be a little weird once things slow down and get in the dirt too. If I can solve that problem, the next thing is the seat. Not so comfy for a long day. Any suggestions? And maybe cruise control.
@BOC_Adventures Жыл бұрын
Ok. I agree. I uninstalled the Madstad as I just could not get over the look of it and the benefit of wind protection was there but boy was it ugly. I settled on a Givi windscreen with a Puig little deflector thing. There are tons of them on Amazon. All that being said for me wind noise was my biggest problem and I found some really great motorcycle specific ear plugs that have changed the game for me. The Givi and Puig deflector solved any buffeting but wind noise was still an issue until I got the ear plugs. Changed the game for me and with the right ear plugs you can still hear your music and comms. Makes riding so much less fatiguing. Hope that helps.

Iv had several KLX, liked them all and most have been different variations of the same frame, motor and suspension. But after buying an old DRZ to fix and flip for $, I ended up keeping it and selling my latest KLX. Im 6'2 215lbs and the DRZ is a BIG bike, the KLX/CRF feel like 7/8th the size compared to it. Geometry fits me better and its the first enduro suspension that I never had to re spring for my weight, there is enough adjustment to not sit too low in the plush stroke. Brakes suck but the transmission shifting and clutch feel better. And obviously the power is addicting, with the power mods this thing HAULS ASS and is almost very hard to stall. It does feel 50lbs heavier than the KLX offroad but for the tradeoffs everywhere else its worth it to me.
