After six months of riding and enjoying this dual sport motorcycle, I'm excited to share my 1000 mile Suzuki DRZ400S review with you. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the DRZ400S, and if you're considering buying one of these great dual sport bikes, let me give you my thoughts on the pros, cons, and overall experience of what it's like to ride and own a DRZ400. This bike can truly do it all, from tearing up the backcountry through the rain, mud, snow, sand, and rocky technical trails to freeway, highway, and general around town riding. Not only can the Suzuki DRZ400S do it all, but it does it all in an insanely fun way. Every moment of riding on this bike is filled with tons and tons of smiles per mile.
My Suzuki DRZ400S review isn't all positive, though. There are some significant downsides to this decades-old design, including lack of fuel injection, only a five speed transmission, and the lack of any modern features like a fuel gauge, traction control, ABS, or anything like that.
Overall, though, my Suzuki DRZ400S is insanely positive. The six months and 1,000 miles I have spent on this enduro motorcycle have been the happiest and most fun of my motorcycling career. This bike is capable and confidence inspiring in ways no other motorcycle, dual sport or no, that I have ridden has been. The DRZ 400 S may be my favorite bike of all time.
