>>16258631
It's a single. It's shit for roads because it has low power and vibrates like crazy, and it's shit for dirt because it's pigfat.

Instead of taking the best from each category it took the worst and combined them into one shitbike.

What's the best year/model for the DRZ400? Specifically for hitting trails in Australia.

>>16258682
Just get the XR.

>>16258691
>The relevant law, passed in November, 1990, permitted sexual intercourse for young people between 12 and 16 in most circumstances, but allowed a challenge by parents or by the Protection of Children if there was evidence of exploitation.

>>16258683
should have mentioned that I wanted a kick start. Can you get the DR-Z with a kick start that is also street legal?

>>16258694
you can get kits for that

it's not worth the effort because you still have a DRZ400

>>16258682
XR has the same power and weighs 50 pounds less, it's a no brainer.

>>16258657
are you implying this is bad?

>>16258700
Why do people here have a hard on for the DR-Z then?

>>16258708
because they feel the need to justify their purchase.

>>16258708
BECAUSE ITS SOME AUTIST SPAMMING THE THREAD FFS

>>16258708
The XR400R is slightly heavier than the DRZ400E, the comparable model, even though the DRZ400 has a starter motor. The DRZ would be lighter with a kicker kit.

Neither is street legal and will gain about the same amount of weight if you plate them

The DRZ400 is more popular and parts are cheap, if you ever need them. It's a no brainer.

Honda a shit.

i can only recommend it. is it better for bike trips than Austria, i dont know. depens on what you want. Slovenia is cheaper, they have a lot of fun gravel roads, and people are friendly. Austria has better twisty roads overall im pretty sure. couldnt really say on whats better, when we make bike trips we usually ride around in Austria, then go to Slovenia or Italy as well.

also, for all my german friends, youtube finally unlocked the slovenia bike trip video a friend of mine made when we did that trip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pgexy27tlE

Man, this is so upsetting. I was certain the DRZ400 SM was going to be the perfect starter bike for me: cheap, reliable, not too fast and no big deal if I dropped it. Now, after all the memeing, I don't even know what to believe. All the other research I've done seems to show that it is indeed a durable bike, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm getting trolled to hell and back by some fellas on /dbt/.

>>16258639
Singles are good for dirt. Longer spaces between firing pulses let's the tire get better traction, like backwards abs. That's why most any bike designed to go offroad will have 1 or two cylinders

Yeah, they keep cities clear of snow too, but if you live in a rural location like I, its often up to locals themselves to clear the roads.

But even if I lived in the city, I wouldnt take my bike out in the winter. They spray salt all over the roads to prevent ice and that will fucking wreck your bike. Corrosion and electrical issues will be the result.

Nah, was lacking a bit in power. I need transport not hooncycle. I might consider the dr650 though

Triumph

>>16259708
daytona

>>16259440
TT 600
XT 660

>>16259708
it most certainly is the best handling (and looking bike), but of course, it's also the most expensive of all of them by a long shot. I have also heard it's not great for longer touring

I know that, but I can unfortunately only pay as much as my bank account can muster up. I'll have too look how much money I'll have next year

Also, I can't quite decide whether I like the round or the slanted headlights of the street triple more

That's the MT07 here in europe, right? I'm not really a big fan of parallel twins, and I'm looking for more than 74 hp. But thanks for the suggestion

>>16259836
MT07 is very light so it feels more powerful.
excelent bang for the buck.
buch of aftermarket solutions.
great platform overall.
imho bike of the decade.

Yesterday I forgot to take off the disk lock again. Thank god I was so slow I could stop without falling and doing damage.

I really need that fucking cable.

Yes, I'm very happy with it 0 regrets. I was a complete noob when I bought it and the handling was the best it makes everything easier, but I dont know anything firts hand about the other bikes so your choice

>>16260057
yes, I have heard the handling of the triumph is the best of the 600 nakeds

do you ever do longer tours with it?

holy shit lads bleeding linked brakes is hell

i fucking hate honda

>>16259740
buddy its a naked bike. Long rides suck because you have no wind protection. If you're tall like me you'll feel the fatigue after a while.

my longest trip is 400-450 km

>>16260119
Brake lever controlling front and rear, brake peg only the rear.
BMW does it too.

>>16260119
>honda figures most americans come from cruisers and over-brake the rear or ride like they're on a track and under-brake the rear
>front brake controls 4/6 front and 1/3 rear
>rear brake controls 2/3 rear and 2/6 front

notes: doesn't save you from locking up either wheel by grabbing a fistfull of brake, just makes it worse when you do that. sole purpose is to slightly reduce braking distances for idiots and make bikes impossible to ride at moderate speed on manicured dirt roads.

>>16260128
>only the rear

If only.

>>16260117
I'm not saying I want to tour the world with it. It should just be enough so I can go from munich to genoa or livorno in one day without having to stop every 150 kms because my balls hurt and/or my petrol tank is empty

>>16260123
any luggage capabilities for the triumph?

>>16260138
BMW has a more sensible way then.

>>16260142
you can put luggage on any bike but your MPGees will disappear from the extra weight and drag. make sure you buy a bike that gets around 25km/l to start with and an 20l tank

>>16260138
why are my honda brakes not linked?

>>16260166
wat

So like, is this DRZ thing like a meme or something? They are ugly as fuck why would anyone want a shitty looking dirt bike when you could have any other nice looking bike?

>>16260168
Because you don't own an older fireblade or VFR

They're optional on further CBRs because honda realized it was retarded to put a beginner's commuting aid on a supersport

You can put a bag in the tank, but my main interest is short trips to locals curvy roads so I don't know about longer trips

>>16260220
Alright, well, until now, I have already only been "touring" with a backpack and a mat, tent and sleeping bag strapped to the back, so I think I'll be able to compromise

>>16260209
>>16260214

Like I said Im just plain not understanding. I only started riding about a month ago so I am a new lurker in these /dbt/ thread but everyone single one is DRZ over and over.

It seems like the funny banana equivalent of YLYL threads on /b/ except people actually seem to be okay with the DRZ?

>>16260274
The DRZ is actually terrible. Its only redeeming quality is a factory supermoto option for fags that can't afford/do a supermoto conversion themselves.

Nobody likes it, but the same couple of fags keep spamming threads to death so they can make new ones with DRZs in the OP. They do this because they regret their purchase.

>>16260294
>>16260274
>I don't like it so no one does
It's old and rarely gets updated, but it's also reliable, easy to ride, cheap, and has a wide aftermarket. And no, I don't own one. I just don't blindly hate things because of some pictures.

>>16260310
If that's what you like just buy a honda

>>16260274
It's one guy that spams the shit out of the bike.. Seems like he's asleep rn, so just be an ausfag.
I'm also new to motorbikes, and I'm thinking of getting one to start on, just because what I've been reading here and elsewhere is that it's built like a tank and easy to work on. The fact that it's slow and shit to most people is something that appeals to me, since I just want to learn how to handle a bike and maintain one myself. I think if you're a more experienced rider it turns into a bit of a meme bike that doesn't offer much.

>>16260294
I still need to buy my first bike, and I don't have a garage or the know how to build my own sumo... But I do want something cheap and comfy to cut my teeth on. If you have better suggestions I'd love to hear them.

>>16260294
Take it for what it is. A simple budget sumo that you can still have fun on. In my situation you can hardly legalize a crf450 etc in california so its a good option.

>>16260318
Why? Did Suzuki touch you in bad places?

>>16260324
SV650
GS500
Ninja 650, 300

He wants a slow, comfy, cheap, reliable beginner bike

Those all apply except for the WR450 maybe, but he said he wants to maintain it

>>16260324
imo a supermoto/dual sport is the perfect motorcycle to learn on. Im probably biased because i started on one but i feel it gives you a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of riding and still have a blast.

>>16260310
I'm not saying I don't like it, I've never ridden one so how could I know. I'm just saying from these threads it seems like its being referred to as a bike of the motogod's but now that I see its just one persons spamming it makes a lot more sense.

>>16260324
I bought an 89' Ninja 250 two weeks ago for $1400. I am so happy with my purchase I ride all the fucking time because every time I go out I have a great time.

Like I said don't know much about bikes but I would definitely give my beginners recommendation for this bike.

>>16260349
He wants a slow, comfy, cheap reliable beginer and "doesn't have the space to build his own sumo" ie, wr.

>radially mounted calipers
>lol they are only radially mounted to little bracket that is axially mounted to the fork leg
What's the point?

>>16260366
My only gripe with that bike is that if I drop it the fairings will take a hit, whereas a sumo like the drz will just shrug it off. Also, I felt like 400cc was a good middle ground between 250 and the big boy bikes.
>>16260338
I feel like a sumo is more forgiving and versatile than road bikes. Sv650 seems great but at the same time won't be so chilled with me dropping it or crashing.
>>16260354
That's my thinking.. And later down the line it can still be a fun bike to just swap some off road wheels on and fuck around on some trails.

>>16260107
thx for the warning, i'll go with Kawasaki from now on
