Nice ride she a ripper! Great scenery to and those twisty look like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing ride safe brother 👍🏻🇺🇲

I appreciate it Chris! It’s going to be a good year to ride!

[@StreetbeatDesigns67]

I need to pull mine out. Only taken it out of the garage once this spring

[@linksgarage1985]

Well David that fuckin unacceptable! Get that damn hike out and ride it. Direct order. Ha. Jk. Ride at your leisure. But seriously. Go ride!

[@CRFLAus]

Dude I love Springtime with all the blossoming trees. I'm on the other end here in Aussie, temp's dropping on the way into winter. As far as the Zee/Zed question, probably just an accent thing. I watch so much American stuff I've found myself saying zee now, people be like "it's zed" and I'm "oh ok I forgot". Some parts of the USA have distinct accents and pronounce words quite differently, some people say crick/creek or roof/ruff. Cheers mate!

[@linksgarage1985]

Man! I appreciate the Z vs Zed. I also appreciate you watching from Australia 🇦🇺! I have a lot of people who comment and who send me messages on IG from Australia. Awesome people man. Thanks for always stopping in and dropping a comment. It’s good to know people are watching. Cheers mate! I’m enjoying a bourbon 🥃 right now. 💪🏼

Can’t wait to get my DRZ back on the road. Been sitting in a family member’s garage for a couple years. 08’ w only 2800mi on it. Shame on me lol

[@linksgarage1985]

Yea man. Shame on you. Go rescue that thing! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@Batman45025]

Im from New Zealand, the zed zee thing is just an accent thing. I have a drz400sm that i pronounce drzee but i also have a yzf450 that i say y zed f lol we feel the same with the pronounciation of New Zealand. We say New Zeal and but Americans say noo zee land lol

[@linksgarage1985]

Thank you guys for answering! Makes sense! I appreciate you all watching and taking the time to comment.

[@OffWhiteDave]

Im thinking about getting this as my first bike

[@linksgarage1985]

It’s a damn good first bike dude. Not too powerful. Reliable as hell. Super fun. If you’ve ever rode a dirt bike, it’s the exact same.

[@Drzfantasy]

On the z topic, I think at least when you’re talking over the phone zee sounds a lot like E and zed is more distinguishable. I use both as a Canadian just depends on what it’s for

[@linksgarage1985]

Man, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Z, Zee, Zed. I don’t give a shit. Good people, good times, and good vibes is all I care about. Cheers 🍻 💪🏼

Man o' man are you right on time, my brother..... I needed Link's Sound Effects rockin' -n- Rollin; thru my head ! I'm curious about the DRZ(anyone?), does this bike share parts w/ any other bikes? Like some manufacturers you can exchange the fenders w/ other bikes from that brand name. I saw a Kaw guy putting motobike front plastics on his SM setup. And it was way kool to see? You've got a flair for the artisic(I'm more autistic) but hell, ain't they both the same on some levels or ....not? Don'y know but thanks for the uplift today.... dealing w/ sH!T on my end. peace out

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

is that speed-O-meter reading correct? Or is the MPH off at all? I've seen guys trying to say the DRZ400 ain't able to carry the speed for any amount of time & she sure looks like she'll GiT R uP -n- GO !

[@linksgarage1985]

Thanks for stopping in man. Glad to help! And for a bit in the early to mid 2000s the Kawasaki KLX400 were the same bike. 💪🏼

[@linksgarage1985]

@@user-dv7hb2sc9m yea. It’s correct. It’ll do about 105 mph

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

105mph, nothing to laugh about = good enough to hang for an hour at a time, for someone who sits on his arse as much as me...Umm, I don't think I could sit on this pig-beast for more than an hour or so? So w/ the KLX being the same there ought to be a shitload of these piled up around the nation not to mention all the 2nd hand parts that're available. I'm on the lookout but keep coming back to the DRZ @ Link's place = hopelessly addicted, perhaps ! Hey man, do these use any Chipsets in the operation or is it all manual ? Any computer's onboard this one? I can find out but hey man, I'm already waiting for next weeks show so be careful to be here...... peace

Whats your current sprocket setup? It runs real nice! Greetings from Holland.

[@linksgarage1985]

Thank you! Stock sprockets! Appreciate you watching.

[@pulsartech2945]

Great, I had removed the DRZ from my purchase list because it’s still carbed and was going to go the route of the KLX300SM or a Tenere 700 with dual 17”s but I keep seeing these videos 😂🥲🥲 I don’t want to pay 8grand for a bike that hasn’t been updated in 20 years 😂😂

[@linksgarage1985]

Then don’t. Get what you want. 💪🏼

[@pulsartech2945]

@@linksgarage1985 nah it keeps making me want one more 😂 plus the aftermarket support is there. It’s been a toss up between the 701 or DRZ for a while now and I’m still not any closer to figuring it out

@@pulsartech2945 the DRZ isn’t a powerhouse. But it’s simple. And simple is good.
