Did anyone see the Suzuki DRZ400 SM in person..?

So I left a deposit on one And i currently own a GIXR 750. Will i be disapointed in the NEW DRZ 400SM?? I might just go and buy a honda CRF 250 or 450 but then i have to make it street legal! Some love thier DRZ and some say this SM is junk. I dont get it?

Yo Astroman, I'm with you. I got the dual British thing going on, exept I'll be on board a Husky 510 rock'n the streets of Barthelona.

no....:twofinger

Probably depends what you want to do with it ... any of the euros will be a lot more maintenance; i went with the drz meself because it has to be a daily rider and I don't want to be doing oil changes each weekend and valves each other weekend But mine is an E, and the SM is an S (which i've never ridden), and I wanted mine to be able to do offroad with the spare wheels and such as well so :headscrat

Barcelona or Valencia too.. plus some awesome roads all over and the best part the best GP and SBK races just in my backyard :thumbup:

hay Astroman i will see you there looking to buy a place there next year in the Vlancia region ,but wont live there full time for about 3 years,cant have the little girl growing up in Thailand and the schools are shit ,and if you are going to move why not go where the best tracks in the world are with fine weather most of the year

Hey Shane, You should just come home man!

i know it would be loads easer ,but when i left nearly 5 years ago i said i would never go back there to live ,the place seems to just hold you back there is no incentive with all there taxes and laws,i have a business in thailand and one in indo which are doing yery well ,we are also starting a race school here next year with 18x 04 model 600's will also have 6-8 CRF450's so people can try out motarding ,the bikes are on the way now .if i go back there i will have to pay tax on my os business's ,and they can just piss off not giving them a cent, so europe here we come ,at least my little girl we be able to speak spanish

When i was back in the UK they had the new DRZ SM on show, I have owned a s model since they first came out, i put a full procircuit pipe on it plus rims and disks etc etc, to be honest for a street bike you cannot top it, I have done 90% track time and 10 road and in 4 years it had 1 plug and a couple of oil changes, reliable is a word you cannot use enough. The new model looks the same but has a new frame with sharper steering and as you can see much better suspension, ok they will not keep up with CRF's but there is not a lot in it, i can say this becuase I own a crf and have been lucky enough to ride to tuned race ones as well which are quicker, in the flesh its a sexy road bike that wont ask alot from you, and the official suzuki carbon add ons are trick. What are you after a race bike with new shims rings and oil often or a one that ridden well does the job that all you have do is put fuel in it, i thnk its the best road sm you can buy that has eveything.

I'm new to the whole motard thing but i test rode the DRZ-SM at my local shop.. it seemed like a great bike...it was a riot to bomb around town and do stuff my SV would be hardpressed to do... im seriously considering gettin into supermotos cause of that test ride.. its nice to know my local suzuki shop is also a Gasgas and Husky dealer haha! ill start out with the DRZ and if im stuck with supermotos ill get a husky or something in a couple of years

Trust us you'll be stuck.

JUST GET THE HUSKY NOW SO YOU ARENT DISSAPOINTED!!!!
:arsenal You'll be an ADDICT!!!
