I got talk into buying a 'DRZ plated kicker only' about 6 years ago (thank you Unc. Champ & Pasta Pilot). It was my intro to the newer generation of motorcycles, far removed from my last encounter with bikes like the Yamaha TT600's & CZ 500's. It's a good platform to start DS, pretty much can do it all. their's just a lot of other better options to progress to once you know what your really looking for.

Scrandle 0 Posted August 26, 2018 What model/year DRZ do you have? This is my second 2001 DRZ400e. Sold my first one years ago, and acquired my current one from a family member a few months back. Depending on the model you have, there’s carb swaps, cams, jetting, and re-gearing just off the top of my head. Not really the best at any one thing in particular, but it can do it all decently in my experience. My old bike saw everything from freeway commuting to glamis with just tire and gearing swaps.
