hi everyone

I love drz but i still wondering whether is it worth it or not.

ASP quote me OTR $14700 + $889(insurance 23yr old) = $15589

 

if i buy spark it's only $5.8k+ OTR. the difference is abt $10k!!

 

actually im looking for a transport bike. i use to be riding S4.

anyone here use DRZ for transport for more than 3-4 yrs and u still like ur bike very very much? coz if i spend so much on drz i must be using it for long. if not that's waste of money. IF i need to travel 20-30km to work daily, is drz good for me? i scared after 1-2 yrs i will sian of drz. im in dilemma.

 

can anybody enlighten me?

bike price and COE high now..

you can consider a 2nd one.. there's a lot for sale with fair amount of accessories and good price..

 

i've been riding for almost 2 years.. still have not had any tots of selling it yet.. whereas my S4, i rode 1.5 yrs only i hand itchy already..

 

drz yield a better FC over Super4.. but the vibrations might turn you off..

balls will get numb when you are not use to it..

 

if you are not willing to part your money; a person that changes bike often and looking for a transport bike.. sparks wins hand down anytime..

 

if not, waiting to welcome you to the DRZ family..

supermoto riders are friendly and poisonous..!!

[mrcheese]

oh man. i am deeply poisoned.

MRD!!!

[biting_point]

DRZ is a bike u fall in love with. not a bike where u consider here, compare there. i think most of DRZ riders here got their bike after falling in love wif it, well, at least i did. i waited for this bike since year 2000 i think when i watched my first supermoto race in France.

 

anyways, i just past my 1st year wif it n still loving it. very rugged, easy maintenance, FC good n i've been riding it ard 20km per day to work + 20km per day to school, so that's a whopping 40 km one way. ur balls will feel numb at first but after getting used to it, it's nothing. it can be turned to be cruiser or pick up whichever turns u on.

 

so dun think too much, like a girl, if u fall for her n luv her, u'll go after her n dun think if she's expensive or not but if u dun, u won't look at her at all. so make ur choice.......anyways, nobody rides the same bike for more than 5 years......

[Blackbeauty69]

haha.. i love my DRZ.. much much love! no regrets...

[biting_point]

anyways, nobody rides the same bike for more than 5 years......

 

hmmmm.. then how can you compared it with a lady??

 

ppl moved on.. bigger bikes are always the thing to look forward too..

i'm also looking at upgrading to VFR1200.. but haven gotten CL2..

almost 5years on CL2A.. i knew if i gotten CL2, i would have find ways to get my dream bike..

 

money is also a factor to consider..

DRZ had been very cost saving on my pocket due to its low maintenance..

i service it monthly with fresh EO(sometimes

something i wouldnt do for my CL2 bike, i'll definately service when the mileage is up(3000-4000KM on fully syn)..

 

the only few bad things abt DRZ is too many accessories on ebay, online store, local shops and local importers.. and a group of friendly dudes that will poison you and let you join their track days..

 

having been owning so many bikes..

DRZ is my most loved.. when i'm not in town, i always thinking of coming back to ride it..!!

from wat i read over the net, it seems that in terms of built quality, safari are better.

 

not too sure though as this aint my personal experience.

why 17L?? why not go for the biggest one??

 

i only know Safari ones comes with petcock and fuel cap..

Safari had a better finishing than others..

[spenchew]

going for touring as well? how's your boys doing? they look CUTE! (i am no MJ! just that i like kids!)

the kids are great, thanx. time to leave them behind and make a trip.

tour on my previous gs is comfortable, but on drz, the vibration may b abit too much.

 

thanx for the input guys. safari is quite ex. ims cost much less.

will head down adventure on wheels and take a look at the safari tank.

any ims user here?
