Great Dual Sport Weapon

If you want a True dual sport bike, it doesn't get any better than this. Sure you can get a ktm 520 or 450 that would out perform the drz400, but look at the maintenance intervals, they are much more close together. The DRZ400 is meant for someone who does alot of offroad riding but alot of street a...swell. It is great off road and on road. If you want a hasstle free reliable bullet proof bike that will do awesome on the trails but won't win supercross races then get the DRZ400. Read Full Review

08 drz 400s wheelie machine

This bike is the best dual sport I ever owned. I never had a break down or problem yet and I currently have about in 13,000 miles of torture on the critter. "WINTER and SUMMER Enduro Racing" The suspension is better than any other dual sport and is also tuneable to meet the users expectat...ions. If you give the drz a big bore cylinder, a set a performance cams, jetting, and exhauhst and it instantly turns into a friendly kinda meaner beast. With proper sprockets it will run 100mph easy and corner better than most rockets. It will also wheelie for miles with no problems because of the smart dry sump design. Change the sprockets for trail riding and never have to slip the clucth for lack of power or worry about over heating it even in the worst. Nice that it is street legal, but too bad It hates to obey laws. Read Full Review
