    DRZ400sm

    Hi all,
    I'm looking to buy a DRZ400SM around the 5k mark. What have you got?
    Thanks.

    Pick up a cheap E model and throw some supermoto rims on. E model is lighter and more powerful.

    I'm not sure what sumo rims to get. There's almost no drz sumo rims for sale. Also brake rotors different etc. Priced it up with aftermarket rims and sprockets, rotor etc and it came to around 5k. Which is what I'd pay for an SM anyway.

    You are correct in your thinking. I am on my third DRZ sm. Fat underpowered lump that is just great fun! Easily modifiable, reliable, and cool in traffic and twisties. Under rated IMHO.

    Totally agree. I did look at the other motards like WR, Husky and KTMs but the service intervals are too short, need rebuilds and parts are expensive.I do about 400 km a week. Got my last drz for 5500 with 12000kms so hoping for another deal like that again.

    Go look at the Husky 701

    Only slightly out of your price range

    That is sooo nice... I just can't justify that $ on a motard though. Kinda hanging out for the MT-10 actually.

    Thanks for that! It was on my watchlist but expired, looks like he's relisted and wants less $ now. Will get in touch

    I used to think that was right, until I got an E with the bigger pumper carb and agressive cams... night and day difference in the bike ... rejet never did that for my old SM
