You are concern about the bike's pickup, and you want to cruise at 110 KMH and you worry about fuel consumption.

 

I don't know of any bike that can give you all these... certainly not a DRZ.

 

haha. i didn't realise the factors clash until u mentioned them..

1. my FC varies, if wack very hard is 23km/l, if normal relax is 27km/l.

2. i bought 14k for everything wifout insurance

3. maintenance wise varies, engine oil 2000km change for semi syn, 5000km change for full syn, some change shorter intervals, spark plug at least can last 10k km, maintanence is very easy.

4. no such thing as advantage or disadvantage, its a matter of u like riding the bike or not.

5. u buying the bike for wat purpose?

my previous bike is a Super4 btw. even any bike is gd on SG rd provided u can tahan the petrol n maintenace etc owning a r1 or hayabusa

**********

1. easy to squeeze through, its the techique n guts.

2. pick up is gd, how fast u wan?

3. i ride liao feel normal, how fast for u to find out.

4. same as above i mentioned.

5. depending on wat u choose lor, some ex some cheap, up to u

Uncle Raptor, dun be mean lah..

He still quite new to the bike scene i believe..

 

 

 

I shall feed some info too..

 

1) Mine was at 30km/L (now abt 27km/L with my FS and jetting)

2) Machine price is abt $11000, OTR at abt $13k..

3) comparing it to S4, you'll save 1 bottle of EO and 3 sparkplugs.. carb wash save $30, replacement of carb parts are cut down to only 1 instead of 4.. i'll come to the rest later..

4) see bottom..

5) see bottom..

______________________________________________

I'll touch on the rest of you second part qns all together..

 

I used to ride a S4, simply love it.. but after getting a DRZ, i'm totally lose for words till now..

Sqeezing thru traffic is a ease compared to S4, as DRZ is light and more nimble.. chances for mirror to knock on cars' ones are lower, but needa becareful of vans and lorries..

pickup on rds, if you are comparing to S4, DRZ wil be much more torquey and less smooth.. being a 4cyclinder, S4 heats up very fast.. DRZ is relatively cooler..

on stock spockets, DRZ can travel stress free on highways at 110kph.. spockets size will determine the ease of travel on highways.. pickup and topend will never be friends..

FC if you compared to S4, it's better.. my S4 with FS is getting best at 18km/L, whereas DRZ with FS is now at 27km/L..

speaking of maintanence, besides lesser EO and sparkplugs, you also used les coolant.. better coolants are quite expensive btw..

but changing of EO for thumpers are recommended at 3k KMs.. some change it more frequently because of track days..

 

but only thing bad about DRZs are those poisonous stuffs that are selling at Ebay and US online stores.. being so popular and available in US(unlike Super4), DRZ had a lot of aftermarket accessories..

 

IMO, if i can rewind and choose which bike to buy, i would definately choose DRZ.. for it's reliability and performance..

if you are thinking of getting a commuter, DRZ is good for SG's use..

 

Disclaimer: What i've type is my views on Super4 and DRZ, dun blame me if you regret getting DRZ..

at least for me, I dun regret and loving it everyday..

 

thanks alot for the reply!!!!! mind if i ask a few more qns??

 

1) is drz a single cylinder?? cos u said i would save on 3 plugs.

2) FC wise, stock settings would give an avg of 30km/litre? i presume if i wack or i go easy on throttle, that would give me a +/- 3km/litre?

 

really appreciate the write up on s4 vs drz, gives me a really good idea of the differences btw the 2 :thumb:

 

thanks alot again!!!

hi friend, the seat is a thin plank wrapped with leather. it looks long but the rider sits near the end of the seat with not much space left for the pillion. unless both rider and pillion are exceptionally thin, fetching a pillion on the drz is not exactly comfy.

like that can 甜蜜蜜 mah...

cut stepper seat lah...

 

;4943587']hmm..for maintenance only 1 spark plug and 2 bottle of EO?

 

yes.. but it'll also need a oil filter.. there are usable ones for this too..

some still prefer one time use ones..

Posted
;4943720']change oil filter every 2 oil change?

 

i'm using reusable stainless steel oil filter.. i washed mine every oil change..

 

for me, oil change every 1.5 month or 2500KM..

or you can change to a gel seat ? :sweat:

 

PROS - Plush and comfort for both you and your pillion! (Since you pillion 100% of the time)

 

CONS - Gel seat doesn't look good on a DRZ..
