What's the farthest you've driven your DRZ...


Recommended Posts

I have done two 500 mile days on my 03 S model. 500 miles Friday, spent the weekend, then 500 miles back on Monday. The first 250 miles were exuberant, the last 250 miles were excruciating. ?

I have done 200 miles on a combined dirt road and pavement trip (about 25% pavement and 75% dirt roads). I was riding a new 06 drz400s with a corbin seat.

To MWDRZ: if you are not used to long distance riding 500 miles on any bike is going to be a strain especially if you are doing them back to back or reasonably close together. The stock seat will not help things.

I expect that a comfortable average range on the drz, with a good aftermarket seat is around 300 miles per day.

Over 750kms in one day and about 350kms the next. This included little pavement, gravel roads and lots of two-track. I going to do the same this year. Check it out at:

Bryank - Great cause to ride for! I see Gary Graham's pictures is that your real name? Are you listed there as BryanK?

How long was that channel of water he drove through? Is that a stock DR-Z400 E or S/ Look's like an 'E.

Thanks for sharing those!
