Is the Drz400s a Good Adventure Bike?

[@painsrides]

I bought my DRz to use as a dual-sport/light ADV bike. Its much different riding here in the northeast than you have in the desert. I quickly found out I didn't like the DRz for ADV, so I converted it into an enduro/trail bike. It does am amazing job(with the right setup) hanging in there with the Euro-Queen 2storkes

@@painsrides absolutely! I’ll check out your videos man. I’ve been meaning to get the drz out on some loops I take my gasgas ex250 2t on just to compare apples to oranges ha but I 💯 think the drz is an excellent do it all bike and in the right hands can tackle just about anything a 250 or even 300 2t can. I’m curious what you’ve done to it. Thanks for checking my video out!

@@desertdrz There's a video on my channel with the mods I've done. But I'm still working on it and I've made changes since, like tires, a front mousse, IMS pegs and a better off-road bar setup. I'll make a follow up mods vid soon. My buds are blown away by what the DRz is capable of, I was actually surprised too. I rode a KTM 250XCw TPi before the DRz...I pretty much do the same tracks on the DRz as I did on the XCw.

@@painsrides same.. my friends said 🤦‍♂️dude a drz really?? Yes it’s a fantastic bike. It’s still well over 100 degrees here in AZ, will have more content on it when it cools down.

@@desertdrz The heat and humidity are finally breaking here. Last weekend's ride was brutal... this weekend its going to be 20 degrees cooler with no humidity 🤣crazy

What didn’t you like about it in an ADV setup?
