How Slow is the DRZ400sm? DRZ400sm vs YZ450sm comparo! 

Hit the like button for the DRZ. Show some love!

The drz did well considering the horse power difference and the drz was made as a reliable trail tractor not a race bike.

I have a DRZ SM and it's literally one of the funnest things I ever bought.

Now do 2 stroke vs 4 stroke with a 2 stroke rider and a 4 stroke rider putting down laps with each bike. That would be interesting.

Great video guys! We're going supermoto riding tomorrow here in Germany and after watching this I'm even more pumped! 😋😉

Awesome video ! Drs400sm rider here 🤙🏽 it feels good to have pro’s give good feedback on the dizzer!!

Also it's lacking 50 extra ccs :) I'd say it stacks up pretty well! Good video

Just bought a new Drz400sm here in Chicago. My first new bike ❤

I bought a DRZ after a session at SoCal Supermoto. So much fun

I just sold my DRZ sm a few months ago and got a Ducati 821 hypermotard....but I'm already missing that old workhorse! Once I got that bike set up and dialed in I never had to do anything except change the oil. I rode the piss out of it for 20,000 miles. I even won a Nor Cal supermoto race and podiumed in 3 AFM roadraces with it...sometimes I'd commute to work on it the morning after racing it...lol

I really want to do the same test with a novice racer. Great video!

a full comparison of the supermoto range would be wicked! cant find a video of that any where, at least a decent one like i feel you guys would do. thanks for the comparison.

Would be a cool comparison to put a slightly more modified DRZ against the YZ. I have a 434, cams, and FCR in mine and makes 45.5hp to the wheel. May get a slight bump in lap times. All in all, probably cheaper than a race bike build. Also, I run the Conti Attack SM EVO on mine, but been itching to try the q3+ since they arew a bit cheaper and my sportbike buddies love em!

I really need to get over for a track day with you guys!

So fun!

great comparison

had the same experience on my DRZ-SM at sonoma kart track sumo day. was fun but would get worked by a proper 450SM. just a little down on power, little too much weight. the bike was slow and heavy too. ; )

Great concept for a vid👍 the only thing that keeps me away from the drzs is the weight I wouldn’t worry about the power if they weren’t so heavy

Ok , so I had an fcr installed on my drz 400 s and I don't think its made a huge difference . What should I be looking for ? It seems to pull harder but not crazy noticeable. Makes a nice chirping noise when pulling. My fuel consumption hasn't changed at all. Any pointers? Bike is running standard cams with big bore E header

I just bought a DRZsm, why didn't anybody tell me!?! j/k, I knew. Still happy, should be fun to learn the ways of the sumo(and DS with wheel swap)

is the 450cc engine size limit on your website for races only? Would I be able to bring my 2007 525 exc here for an open practice session?

Awesome vid. Going to check our your website to see when the noob classes are.

Great video guys. Loved it. Does the drz400 in this video have a flatslide carb or?

His white boots tricked me. I thought for a second, "this guys in sneakers? "

sold my drz400sm to get more into dirt, bought a ktm 350 exc-f. miss the drz believe it or not. sure the excf is the "better" bike performance wise, but just something about the dizzer i love. call it character. next bike will be the sm again with a set of dirt wheels. always concerned about racking up miles on the excf and tired of that

I want to see the test done with a DRZ that has a big bore, cams, suspension, slipper clutch and MOTO master front brake set up next! Will be interesting too see how much closer it can come while still maintaining that lower maintenance.

On the yz what wheels are you using?

Great riding

Drz 😁👍🇮🇹

What kind of tires did you say we're on the drz?

I always wonder how my xr650L supermoto would match up against a drz. I also have a wr450f supermoto. The wr is wicked.

wich dunlop tire was on the drz ?

why didnt you guys run the dirt section?

What pressure do you run on the Q3+?

is this comparison being made against a "completely prep'd" race dr-z?

I have 2021S. Thinking of putting 17” front and putting street tire on 18” rear. Any thoughts? Trying to keep from buying stuff I don’t need

I have 2020 KTM EXC-F 500. Want to convert it into supermoto, whats some good supermoto gearing?

that's so sad that they dont sell drz's in europe any more. some bs laws. drz is my goals bike atm :(((

Sick video! Is the drz healthy backfiring like that? mine has started to sound the same.

Skinny Santa can ride!

I'm just looking to buy a bike & the difference I see is the YZ is gonna require a lot more attention if I understood correctly? For the average dummy like me, changing oil & doing valve checks isn't my strong point. I think how road friendly & maint free it is is more attractive. If I wanted, "Fast"... I'd want the YZ. We like to compare but reliable & low maint is what most people want. Thanks for the videos, now I know you guys. peace

What purpose does dangling your foot out on every corner like an Uber eats deliveroo on a scooter serve apart from snapping your ankle Just asking

It's only been 2 weeks and I already miss my drz :(

You need to do a drz with bb440 and a 41mm for carb

Q3s on the DRZ feel like your favorite pair of sneakers.

Sat on a DRZ400SM and was turned off by the heavy weight, carburetor. I’m new to bikes, 5’8, 175, 32” inseam. Those KLX250’s kinda appeal to me

What is the approximate power difference? 15hp?

You would love an XR650R.

Drz ❤

Miss American supermoto on tv

To be fair though the guy was alot more comfortable on his personal 450.

I never understood why anyone would want a tall awkward Super-moto bike over a nice low crotch rocket. Especially, if you like going over 50mph like on Fwys. But, If I *had to have one*. I would rather save a lot of time & money & just get a plated XR650r.

drz sounds lean at idle from the pops

DRZ 35-38 RWHP, YZ +50 RWHP

he is fast cause he took your class like 100 times already

It's the rider, not the bike...

I think it’s like every other category of bike, people just like to complain and nitpick because they read magazines and have ridiculous expectations. Just like any other bike in any other category, the truth is 99% of the riders out there have more bike then talent. You take this guy races and put them up against 99% of the riders out there and on a DRZ he will blow them away on a full blown race bike. The DRC is a pretty good all-around bike. It’s not the greatest it’s not the fastest, but it’s more than capable and most people will be better putting that extra money into gas and practicing, because it’s far more Kibodeaux than most writers. Or you spend tons of money upgrading everything as much as I could doing all the performance mods and that’s fun but it gives you potential but unless you’re a serious racer putting in tons of hours you’re not gonna have the skills to outride a DRZ 400 SM anyway so it’s really not gonna make it much faster, if you’re drag racing and doing long straightaways then yeah the mods help but on a twisty Turny track the bike is 5% of the equation the other 95% is your skill And I’m not bagging other people I’m the same way, you put me out there on a race bike and this guy on a DRZ and he’ll run circles around me but a lot of people have this attitude like Bikes like the DRC just suck and are useless but the truth is the bike is much faster than 99% of the riders who have them anyway and the upgrades aren’t gonna give them much faster lap times

4 seconds that's it? Shoot drz works for me!

stock drz ,of course its slower then yz450 a off road bike with more hp

well dam find me DRZ SM for 3200 then ...Please

I cannot like this video because it currently has 666 likes and I'm a douche like that. Just wanted to say my guess was 10% and I feel validated by this accuracy.

wear are your masks. it's right there on the whiteboard

Your father?

Funny enough the Drze is faster.

Please wear a mask inside... busted.

I am gonna type here the percent that the drz will be slower, let's see how close I will be. 18% slower Btw I have a drz 400s too :)

What a stupid video. Why would you compare an enduro to a race bike? The comparable bike is a Rmz450. At least compare 2 bikes that are in the same class.
