Do NOT Buy This Motorcycle in 2022.. | DRZ400S vs. CRF300L

With several new Dual Sports being introduced in 2021, there are several that remain the same.. Decades later the DRZ400 is a bike that stands the test of time, released in 2000 with the S model, the DRZ still exists to this day and the only update it has seen is BOLD NEW GRAPHICS. With new motorcycles like the CRF300L, with modern fuel injection and a proper 6 -speed wide ratio transmission, how does the DRZ compare?
In today's video we address just that.

I know a lot of DRZ owners will be triggered by this and that's okay, let it all out. I don't think it's a bad bike I just think there are better options. At the end of the day ride what gets you off!

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Haha they definitely get trigger, other people's opinions really bother someone who is reluctant to change.

[@J2rcracing]

I love Suzuki, if the Drz was efi I'd buy one. But I have a '20 350 xcf. After owning this I'm buying an exc f 500 for a dual sport now. KTM just smokes it.

My brother had a DRZ, I have a 250L. I liked the power they DRZ had, and it really felt like a tank. I found that the 250L was better for technical riding and felt lighter, even though it wasn't. They just feel like completely different bikes.

[@venomstrike4418]

I just bought my DRZ400S used a couple months ago. The previous owner did the jet carb + air box mod. I threw on a 47 tooth rear sprocket... and man does this baby rip through trails and hills. It scares me sometimes... I have to remind myself to slow down. I might go back to a 44 tooth rear... the throttle is so snappy. But it's a beast. Definitely makes me look like a good rider when in reality it's my first off road bike haha! Only thing I find myself grumbling about is the height. I'm sure if I rode a CRF300L I would be impressed by it. You can't ignore the newer technology. But all I know is the DRZ puts a huge smile on my face every time I ride it. It's a straight up beast. Can you say that about the 300L? Cheers to the good content!!

[@snupermoto723]

Drz rider for 6 years, have ridden a 250l and the 300, both lack power and torque, the suspension is waaaaaay too soft, even compared with the Drz. they do feel lighter, and the Drz does feel old, but hell I feel old too, so it's comfortable. After the zombie apocalypse I'll take the Drz everytime and be happy about it. But you are entitled to your opinion, but a refit likely means we'll lose the Drz all together, and less competition is never a good thing.

[@jonhill329]

100% agree, if honda would have a CRF400l, which should mostly solve the power and torque issue, and the suspension had some dampening adjustment at a similar weight, for an extra..$1000 or less....I would be all over that. And I think alot of people would be also.

I like the manliness and old school badassery of the Suzuki. I'd definitely ride the CRF, it's cool bike, it's just that it's balls are smaller and less hairy

[@Nicks_Shop]

11:07 "That little bit of extra power".. Just to clear things up, the 250l (322lbs) and DRZ400 (319lbs) have a HP difference of almost 10HP. The DRZ400s weighs the same as his old 250L and has 33% more power.. that's a huge increase in power. The Fuel Injection and Gearing is great on the 250L/300L but man is it ever underpowered for the weight.

[@stevetdesigns]

Extremely under powered. I had the 250L and even after changing the gearing I couldn't get the front tire off the ground. Probably a lack of skill, but now I don't even have to try on my KTM 450 😁😁 After riding the 250L through some muddy trails I just knew it wasn't gonna cut it.

Amen. I don't know how people recommend the 250/300L so much. If you're a brand new rider and don't care to really get in the dirt or try to hop a log, pop a wheelie, etc then the crf/L bikes are great. There's a reason these "old" bikes still cost as much as the "better" crf/L bikes

Just bought a DRZ 400s last weekend. I've always rode motocross bikes, last being a CRF450R. I started hitting trails on it and it didn't work out well. It didn't like the idling and it was way to snappy for the slicker hills. So far the DR-Z has been way easier too manage in the woods, as well as on gravel. Same day I bought it I took it out for a ride knowing nothing about it, and never having ride one. It was so user friendly it felt like I'd rode it many times. Hours of soft trails and gravel roads. I even hit a back highway and it didn't make me nervous even at 65 mph. No shakes or unstable feel. I did a couple little cosmetic upgrades too it this week and im hoping I'll get too take it out and put it through the paces on more wooded terrain, so far seems like a decent bike and I bought it for a quarter what my crf cost

[@AdventureDaily]

I’m glad it worked out for you! They are great bikes I just really prefer the modern amenities, enjoy the ride!

[@crypticreality8484]

Yea. I know that 6 gears is nice but, I went 82 today on my DR-Z and there was room to spare. So, people complain as if the CRF's 6th gear allows it to go faster. That's not how gearing works.

[@Mark-du4qn]

Suzuki got the V-Strom pretty damn close to perfect... You also know the Vearsys is a Kaw product, yeah? Conventional wisdom is that the DRZ isn't updated because it can't meet emissions standards now and any update would cancel out its being 'grandfathered' in. Fun vids on your channel though. I enjoy it.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Dude I did a comparison of these two bikes myself. Its cool to see another persons perspective, I watch a ton of your videos. I agree a ton of what your saying about the DRZ, even tho the 300L weighs only like 10lbs lighter it feels 40-50lbs lighter. Also my DRZ vs Honda 300L comparison/review got a ton of hate.

I'm on the fence between buying a new crf300l vs a slightly used drz400. I'm a huge Honda fan but the soft suspension and welded sub frame are big red flags for me. Weight difference to power difference is making me lean towards the drz as well.

[@ADVlife287]

Long post coming.. The crf250/300L series bikes are great. Simple, stupid long intervals on maintenance, injected. However there is a reason you'll see more crf/L bikes for sale than any DRZs. The crf/L series bikes are not made in Japan, and without being a "snob", you can tell. My dad bought a new 250L 2 years ago, was a great "grandpa" bike. We geared it wayyy down so you could trail ride it. You needed 6 speeds after gearing where it was more useable on dirt/trail riding. There's nothing really "wrong", but it's about as bland as it comes. Again, you'll see the 250/300 L for sale with not many miles, with exhaust/tuner/intake etc trying to get more power. People realize it's a great bike to bang around in town or trails but it will leave you wanting more. The suspension is terrible. I don't care how great your injected bike runs when the suspension is garbage. Certainly you can go all out improving the 250/300L bike suspension for a LOT of money, but then you're still on a 300+ pound bike with sub 300cc's of street bike honda engine. It's not going to feel lively or exciting. Don't get me wrong, we had my dad's 250L set up with a nice rear rack and seat concepts seat so it wasn't bad on our day rides. The real problem is when you rode ANY other bike besides a tw200 in the group and got back on the 250/300L bike, you realized that you should have gone a different route. Last year I saw a drz400 pop up on craigslist, 2002/3, with barely 1000 miles. It looks brand new. Owned by an older rider and garaged. I told my dad to buy it and sell his crf250l. We both rode the 250L and drz400 after he purchased the suzuki (and before he sold the crf250l) and there's a reason people STILL BUY THESE BIKES! We have subsequently ridden trails and rides that we did before, but now with the drz400 (I ride a dr650). The 400, 300 and 250 all are within 10 pounds of each other. The Honda bikes feel like the weight is lower, but it feels like a lower bike. The DRZ feels like a "dirt bike". It's playful, pops wheelies, actually responds when you accelerate.. Sure it's old tech, but it'll annihilate the crf250/300L bikes. Please read about reliability of the drz400's engine. I've owned a suzuki ltz400 (same engine as drz400), hot, cold (like below 0 F) it just starts. I'm over 200 pounds and the stock suzuki suspension is more than adequate. It's far superior to my DR650's suspension as well. I'm convinced that Adventure Daily wants to bash DRZ's in attempt to lower the used market price and increase the value of his crf/L bike (haha jk Adventure Daily). Everyone has their own preference, some people love Ford focus's more than a Ford Mustang.. that's ok. For most people though (if you can test ride them both) you'll understand why the DRZ's still cost $4k used and people are selling low mileage CRF/L bikes. And as much as people try to bash the "old" tech of the DR\Z/KLR/XR style bikes, again, there's a reason you'll see those bikes for sale at "higher" prices. You're not wrong on power/weight ratio concern - the DRZ isn't the fastest out there by a LONG shot, but it's 2x feeling over at least the 250L.

I bought my DRZ brand new 15 years ago. I got a full FMF pipe and jetted it along with opening up the air box. The torque is great I never attempted to climb a hill that I could not conquer. The only issue was the weight but my friend's brand new 250 Yamaha that weights about the same only with less power so I guess I can't complain. I have ridden at 6 to 7000 feet and hadn't noticed any significant power lost. If I want to get a better bike I would need to get a Husqvarna/KTM and spend $13000 OTD. Until I am willing to pull the trigger I will stay with the DRZ. Oh yeah, it's very reliable too.

[@teethofthelamb]

After looking through the comments it looks like we have a lot of DRZ400 lovers, who have said just about everything already. I have a DRZ400 and it’s a nice bike, I wanted a trail bike but decided the dual-sport is much more practical to get from point A to point B no need to trailer it. My DRZ was like new 2,000 miles and I paid $2,800 for it all of the mods had been done carb jets and 3x3, MFM exhaust, LED headlight, mini LED signals etc. I purchased a Honda 400 years ago and had the street kit installed, I remember it was about the same hight as my DRZ which is the only thing I don’t like about the bike, but it’s a very capable bike especially in the hands of an experienced off road rider. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, one size does not fit all when it comes to motorcycles, thats why there are so many makes and models to choose from, pick the one that best fits your needs.

I had a DRZ400S years ago. Rode it the length of Africa. Never let me down. This is where the DRZ is god. It's solid, strong and easy to work on yourself. It's like a KLR650 for the dirt. You know with some basic knowledge you can always fix it yourself. Lack of 6th gear did suck though. I sold that and bought a 250L. IT SUCKED. REALLY underpowered, soggy suspension. And it's still WAY HEAVY. I ditched the asthmatic 250L and bought another DRZ400S. But did some mods. Because I agree. The DRZ400 out of the crate is not good. You HAVE to mod a DRZ to turn it into an excellent bike. If you invest some cash you can TRANSFORM it. I put an FCR39 carb and a 434 athena big bore. IT TRANSFORMS the bike. But even the 3x3 mod and a dynojet kit makes it better. I did a weekend riding on my DRZ400 with a group on CRF300L. They performed okay but their suspension in no way as good as even 20 year old DRZ shocks. My DRZ with the pumper carb powered through obstacles and hills where the CRFS struggled. And when riding home on the road my DRZ absolutely tore them up. A modded DRZ400 is still a much better bike than the 250/300L. And for the record. I rode my stock 400S at 14,000 feet in the Ethiopian Mountains. It didn't need re-jetting. The modern bikes FI will always win with economy though.

Primarily ride forest roads here in the Western Washington Cascades with some easier single track now that I'm in my 70's. I have dual sports as I live in a rural town and want to ride from my house without trailering. Had to gear down both bikes with larger rear sprockets and new chains. That was great for the 6 speed WR but the 5 speed DRZ buzzes pretty good on the road at 60MPH. Yeh, the DRZ is heavier and more crude engineeringwise, but it is reliable and extremely durable and has great lugging torque compared to the small displacement bikes. I love both bikes and now ride the WR more as it is a bit lighter and nimbler and has plenty of power. I never had carb problems with the DRZ, as I ride all year but friends of mine have. Funny thing is that the DRZ has never left me in the outback, but the WR has when the fuel pump just quit working 20 miles from the road. Yes FI is great, but the WR has a $20 Chinese Fuel pump although Yamaha charges $400 for it.

[@herbiesnerd]

I’m part of a 3 guy group of old guys riding dual sports with great trail systems in all 4 directions from where we live. We each have different bikes. Two of us are spoiled with a Husky FE501S and a KTM 500EXC. Our third buddy rides a 400DRZ. I think it looks badass, and it sounds great. It has a rack I’m envious of and it goes anywhere our bikes go. When I’ve ridden the DRZ though, the weight is obvious. It’s like riding a Cadillac in the dirt or a small tank. It gets there but it’s not nimble and being an old guy over 60, maximum enjoyability is my bottom line criteria, not cost. The DRZ is not an enjoyable ride compared to my Husky. I’m watching this video because I’m looking at the CRF300L to buy for my son so he can ride with us. I’m sold on fuel injection. I can rebuild a carb like there’s no tomorrow, but I’d rather not. I’ve done all the tuning, and jetting, and mixing etc etc over the years on all the carbureted bikes I’ve ever owned, and I’ve never touched my Husky’s fuel injection. The ECU does all the work. Granted, I paid a lot of money for a 500 that weighs just over 250#, but I’ll finish my time on bikes with maximum fun and comfort. My kid doesn’t need a $12,000 dual sport so the Honda seems like the way to go for $6,000 so he can keep up with the old guys, learn and have fun. Every ride with the DRZ nearby though, still makes me smile when I hear it.

I have the 2000 DRZ S. It’s got the upgrades of handle bars, bashplates, and pegs. I’ve riden the 2021 CRF 300L. Great new bike. Love all the enhancements you discuss. The EFI. The 6 speed, the tech package of gas, gear, tach, etc. I think you offer the balance of pros and cons. Did a drag race and found they were similar to 65. DRZ keeps going though. At 200lbs the suspension of the DRZ is important. The CRF wins the beauty contest, no doubt. The DRZ wins the he-man contest (no replacement for displacement). So I am sticking with the DRZ for now as the upgrade of tech isn’t enough to offset the cost of better suspension. My next bike is the Tenere 700.

DR 650 great off road but I have it set up as a 50/50 with a 20 liter tank and Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires which I also have on the KTM. Trying to get a CRF 300 L but looks like I will have to wait till next year, another 6 months to get one hear in Canada. Will be putting a skid plate, and hand guards on and going with more off road tires Dunlop D606 in the rear and Pirelli MT.21 front. The only time it will see road is on the way to a trail or dirt roads. Do you think I should go with a larger rear sprocket as many have done on the CRF 250 or dose the CRF 300 L need it will be doing slow off road and single track so I think the suspension should be Ok at least to start out with Sprockets I was thinking about is a 42 or 44 on the rear or 42 rear and 13 front. The only duel sports I have ridden are the DR 600 many years ago and a couple of DR650 But at 72 want something lighter as most of the time I ride alone. ( so no help to get un stuck or pick it up when in a bad spot.) But do need a bike I can ride to the trails, as most of the time I will be ending up far from where I started. Or have to go on the road to get to the next trail. 3 in the stable will be a dream come true, all single cylinders as well.

Yep, you need the bigger bikes for long distance riding but they are a bigger compromise if you are going to do some single track, especially the knarley stuff.

I ride from my house in Washington's Western Cascades and ride the forest roads within 60 miles of home as well as some of the easier single track trails as I'm now in my 70's. I have the DRZ400S and WR250R which are better suited for the short distance day excursions. I see plenty of ADV bikes come through town as we are on a major adventure route.

I was in the market for a used dual sport. I researched them all. The 650 cc bikes are all heavier than I want to deal with. The non-Japanese bikes are too expensive. So, I narrowed it down to the DRZ400S, CRF300L, KLX300, and WR250R. From my research, you can't go wrong with any of the 4, but the DRZ400S seemed to be the best bang for the buck. The WR250R is priced insane on the used market around here and the KLX300 and CRF300L aren't too far behind. I'm not going to be riding 60 + mph, so the 5 speed doesn't bother me. The carburetor doesn't bother me either. Fuel injection would be nice. The DRZ400S also seemed more durable than the others. The suspension is better too. Honestly, if they all cost the same, I'd still choose the DRZ400S and the CRF300L would be my last choice. The KLX300 seems superior to the CRF300L to me. It has a little more power and better suspension. If cost wasn't a factor, I'd get a Beta.

But when you drive it, it does give the most fun. I still think it is a great bike over the two mentioned. And the long service intervals are great ! To be honest, I'd like to own all 3.

[@Jayswensonjr]

I own a 300L and like how well balanced it is and the lower gearing then the 250l is great for off-roading. To make the perfect bike, Honda needs to offer fully adjustable suspension like the KLX300. I wish I would've gone with the Kawi because I ride off-road a lot and will need to invest in some better suspension. Honda really dropped the ball by not raising the MSRP a few hundred dollars and investing in some good suspension. Who cares about the ABS... I have a little buyer's remorse just because of the suspension.

[@tweetdezweet]

I think Honda put the ABS on the 300L because of EU laws, all new motorcycles are required to have ABS, if I am not mistaken, all crf300s are produced in the same factory in Thailand so it would be easier for them to equip all of them with ABS. Simplifies the production process as well as stock management since all bikes can be sold worldwide. And about the DRZ400.. in Europe we can't even get them new and the secondhand ones are so rare, the prices are insane. That said, the crf300 is actually the only dual sport available due to emission standards and the mandatory ABS... So happy that Honda saw enough potential in the European market because the other brands simply stopped selling their dual sports...

I owned a used 2008 DRZ400SM and figured the reason Suzuki don't bother to upgrade it's bike to modern specs like you mentioned in 9:48 and has been the same technology since like 2004 is because they rake in so much profits in selling DRZ 400's spare parts rather than the whole bike itself. Change or upgrade any of it, the current spare parts will be obsolete and any new part will add a whole new production cost and time for them. The atrocious price tag of the new edition of the bike is just snobbish way of Suzuki saying 'Yea it's expensive. If you dont want to buy, we dont care because there will be always someone else that buy it.' The know damn well the DRZ culture in supermoto community. Plus the culture of DRZ revolves around how much accessible the spare parts to get without the need to check your bike's manufactured year. If the whole biker community around the world boycott new editions or abandon their current bike to the junk garage to force Suzuki to upgrade it, Suzuki can just announce they will stop DRZ and its parts production and that will be end of it. So year it's a love hate relationship with DRZ. Do I love the DRZ? heck yes and its the most fun bike to ride with. Do I want to buy the new edition? No way it's a waste of money

[@andrewneven6816]

My wife has a CRF300L and I have a DRZ400. The CRF300 is nice bike for beginners and women. It has a low seat height, soft power and soft suspension which works well for smaller, lighter riders. The suspension on the Honda is very basic with limited adjustability. This is not a problem for my wife because she has no desire to go fast. The Honda is about 8 pounds lighter than the DRZ and feels like a smaller bike. It's great for putting around on, but is lacking when the trail gets rough and the speeds pick up. It has no where near the power and suspension of the DRZ400. On the street both bikes are just OK. On smooth gravel roads both are fun. On higher speed, tougher off road areas in the California desert, the extra power and superior suspension on the DRZ results in it leaving the Honda behind. When you turn the throttle on the Suzuki it accelerates, while the Honda simply gathers momentum. My wife actually prefers the softer power of her CRF300 and says it is easier for her to ride. The Honda is a nice entry level bike and costs about $1,700 less than the DRZ but it would take more than $1,700 to get it to perform to the level of the DRZ. I won't be trading in my DRZ400 for a CRF300. If anything, I would move to a KTM 350 EXC-F.

I struggled to figure out which of these two bikes to buy. What it came down to was that the 300L had a lot less power, and I'd have to upgrade the suspension right away. You can't take the CRF up an incline on the freeway and that's just plain dangerous. The DRZ has no problem. Plus, I didn't have to upgrade the suspension. And, I've taken it up from 1,000 feet elevation to 7,500 feet and couldn't tell any difference really - nothing worth worrying about. I know that the anemic CRF would have bothered me a lot. The DRZ has a lot of torque and will blast past traffic if you need to. Try that on the CRF...

I don't know if you can get it in the US but have a look for Jubel. It's a peach infused lager. It's the best thing I've put in my mouth in a long ol time! So fresh and tasty.

I highly recommend college street, big blue van beer! They’re based outta where I live here in Phoenix (technically lake havasu) but it’s amazing and not super fruity/ no artificial flavors. It’s blueberry and vanilla, idk if they’re available where you live but if you ever see them in person you gotta try it!

Love the DRZ bought mine 2012 thus far zero problems. I'd buy another one for the simple reason of reliability.
