This is my very first VLOG so please be nice! This vlog takes you through a small part of the Barossa Valley where I go over the reasons why I purchased a DR650.

The mighty Dr 650 is the Ducks Team ,up one
Great insight! How is the 650 compared to the Dr.Z off road? Is the extra weight a real penalty? How is the suspension compare as well? Thanks. Cheers!
Thanks mate. The weight comparison to the 400/650 is fairly minor. The DR is by no means a heavy bike. The drz400 is built for tighter trail work, yet still boasts a reliable and cheap to maintain engine. It falls short at top speed. I don't see a drz400 lasting long on the highway unless you did some major sprocket changing etc. This is where the DR laps it up. Still nimble enough for trail work but also quite happy to sit at 110km/h. The suspension let's the DR down. And if you were planning on doing any real long distance riding, loaded or even more trail intensive work it would need to be upgraded. The DRZ had a finer tuned suspension system for sure. Hope this helps. Cheers
😊
Adelaide here (West Lakes) looking to get a Dog Rooter early 2024.
Ol dog rooter ahaha...that's a good one!
If it’s an xr650R that your friend is on, you should show the channel more of it cause it’s the coolest freakin bike ever made
Yeah, it was a XR650, sadly he has sold it. I too have sold the DR, and purchased a new BMW 1250GSA.
@@thedrrider2675 any regret selling the DR?
You have any idea if there’s a Canadian company that sells these? I absolutely love that rack, but only seems to be in Aus or USA
No I don't think so, are you able to purchase from aus and get sent over?
Great 1st blog! Love the bike. I'm in Tassie - thinking of buying one. Currently riding a 3rd gen SV650. Lots of good tips. I weigh about 120kg so I think I'll need to get the suspension done.
Been through some rough patches a few years ago - and decided to pick up a dual sport last year (drz 400 and upgraded to a DR 650 this year) and its literally been the best thing for me mentally than any therapist I've been to. It took me out of a very dark place and don't know what I would do without my bike now. Agreed that there is still a big stigma surrounding men's mental health - thanks for using your platform to raise more awareness. Cheers mate, and ride safe brother!
That's great to hear you've found something that can bring you relief and joy mate. Well done! Yes mental health issues are a dark secret most people have and hide away... the best thing is to be able to talk about it and not be scrutinised... ride safe mate and keep well 💪✌️
God bless you brother! Enjoy life
Thanks Tim. Safe riding bro🤘
You need to start making videos again!
I agree mate, it's been too long. Need to blow the cobwebs out and hit the record button... ✌️
Getting ready to purchase my first DR650! Pretty excited. Great videos thanks!
Simplistic, cheap to run and a loyal steed. You can't go wrong mate. Happy and safe riding.
The DR is as great as Stereo audio .......... Will keep BOTH
I have buy my Dr 650 rse cause i can make all the maintaince and repair by myself. It's a very hard bike
That was a big factor in getting one as well. I use it as my primary transportation and can't wait 2 months for an appointment with a shop. Not to mention time away from work and figuring out transportation 😆.
Since I’ve bought my DR I’ve considered getting rid of one of my other bikes. It used to be that I’d buy a bike and want something different a year later.
Hope I can get one before the end of the year
Great vid thanks. I’ve just bought one.
Love the video. 2 stroke as a kid was cool but as an adult I find them absolutely obnoxious. Especially if it’s through CZcams.😆👍🏼
came for the bike review but stayed for the pep talk. I needed it! Thanks mate
All good mate. Glad you enjoyed 🤘
Loved my DR650se. Sold it several years ago. Planning on buying another one, Soon. Great Video
Thanks mate. Best of luck with getting your new bike. ✌️
Cuál es la mejor de ambas
Yeah mate try London for riding a bike it’s a shit hole of a place the uk punishes it’s motorists covertly
Your bike looks great!! That seat looks comfy. 👍
Thanks Champ. Yes she's a ripper
Nice Vlog. I think the DR is the thinking man’s adventure bike. The bullet-proof factor is the winner here. I’ve got a DRZ 400e I use for fire trails mainly. I know you can swap out the sprockets to get a more comfortable 110 km speed on the highway but not sure if that would ruin the low end grunt for the dirt. I’m about to go to the D606 on the 400. Stock is 120 at the rear did you go 130 on the DRZ ? If I get into adventure bike riding I’ll definitely go to the 650. Nice job on yours !
Thanks mate, yea I did run a 130 on the back of my drz and it had no issues. Both bikes are incredibly bullet proof mate... can't go wrong with either...💪
I just get pink slip in the mail today so title is ready for me to pick up from post office on monday! Bike will be ready sometime next week! Reason 1 I buy is its supposed to be the best commuter bike there is. Reason 2 is therapy. Reason 3 freedom.
Booyahhh mate...
Exactly what i am going to do to my bike i am due to get shortly, great vid and info
Wild man. Awesome bike. With a few mods they will take you anywhere. Safe riding 👌💪
Just bought mine. What windshield is that?
Notes under vid bio mate ✌️
Dmmit man every time I see a car breeze by on your right ....... From 🇺🇸
Yea I must admit when I'm watching yank videos I think the same ahaha.
Greetings from 🇺🇸 Jimminy crackers man i can never get used to u driving on the left side of the road!
Greetings mate. Yea trips you out? Ahah
🙌
My street ride out of the USA moves me to dirt on Vedder Mountain. Free 24/7 usage, Canadian maintained, for double and single-track use. Which I first viewed on CZcams. For winter & summer ..
What bike is faster the dr650 or the xr650l?
XR but not by much
Love my DR650. Ride the hell out of it. My street bikes just sit anymore. The DR650 is the best all around motorcycle out there
I’ve ridden many motorcycles and many different kinds. My 2015 DR had been getting the most attention though. It’s just loads of fun and great for so many different types of riding. I enjoy your videos and your reviews and am looking at those heated grips. Those are game changers when it’s cold out . Get your feet and hands warm and you can ride in almost any temp!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the great video. You said you think you were born late - your comments at 14:36 reminded me of a song from 1971 - Signs by the Five Man Electrical Band. czcams.com/video/c9lh7lqZojc/video.html
Good video. Same boat, same bike
Nice! Thanks for sharing, man.
Really nice looking bike! I picked mine up last week (2nd hand 2015 model 6900km) and the modifications will begin
Safe riding mate. Enjoy 👌
Love your video
Thanks Mate✌️
Good honest appraisal of the DR650! Is the sheepskin seat cover (great idea) that you fitted a proper seat cover, or did you just buy a fleece, wrap it around the seat base, and staple it on?
Hey mate it's a wrap around, but fitted for the Dr 650 I think I left a link in description about where to get one from... Probably one of the best investments for the ol girl...✌️
Hi just bought a DR! Nice honest review...well done👏👏I've been wondering about tyre combinations as I assumed the stock tyres were shit. You said you are running the d606's front and back...how do they hold up on the bitumen? I assume they are good on dirt but need something decent to get me to the dirt also. And what sort of longevity are you getting out of them? Thanks again 👍
Hey mate, yea running d606s on the old girl front and rear, went as wide as I could on the rear also (130) done about 1800km on them so far and about down to 50% they are good on and off road mate, if you were focusing on either road or off road then they wouldn't be my choice but if you're doing a bit of both as you say you can't go wrong... Have tried the Michelin AC but they tend to chop out quicker...✌️
Pick my one in two weeks its the last of them ,,,
Hey man love the videos and positive attitude. Was wondering if we can get an ID on the jacket?
Hey mate, the jacket I'm wearing is an old dri rider it's about 15 years old and is still going strong. I don't believe they make the same jacket any more but it was a warm/cold jacket with removable internals so that it could be cool in summer but with all the internals in warm in winter... Hope that helps mate...✌️
Beautiful country man! Love my DR's
Cheers big fella
Nice Day for a ride out in Barossa solid bike the DR650 Solid Advise too keep it up champ !
Thanks mate ✌️
Man you were haulin ass at the end there. Looks so fun.
Riding on two wheels is always fun mate 😄👍
Got enough MFDs??😂🤣🤣🤣
Can you ever have enough 🤣
Love your videos brother, just a question what tyre pressures you run on road and off road.
Cheers brother 👍✌️ On road around 26psi Off road around 18psi.
@@thedrrider2675 cheers.☺
I just bought my 2021 DR650. I have 500 miles on the bike so far. Absolutely fun bike to ride and commute to work. Thank you for making your video.
Awesome mate! Glad to hear and welcome to the DR group 😄👍
Is yours a DR650 S Model What's the difference between the S and Z model? Thanks
I think Mines the SE? Not sure the differences, may be due to compliance in different countries around EPA etc?
@@thedrrider2675 Thanks
