Hopefully this helps you make your choice before you get into the supermoto world
The beauty of the dirt bike style framed motorcycles. You can buy a separate set of rims/wheels/tires/sprockets/chain/rimlocks. Then you can swap out street supermoto wheels and sprocket setup without rimlocks with its taller gearing for streets and then sticking on the full Enduro knobby tire setup with rimlocks and lower gearing setup for performing best in lower gearing where its needed and you spend just about all your time under 40 mph in the dirt. This is A LOT cheaper than buying two separate bikes and a lot less of compromise of a heavy adventure bike and adventure tires that give up being great on either street or off road to be somewhat OK on both surfaces.
As someone who dailys my 22 drzsm I gotta say it's amazing. I do mostly freeway but it cruises at 75-80 no problem. Almost 10k miles later I still love it
As someone who used to daily commute on a CBR 600 RR for years and recently swapped to a KTM 690 SMC-R, a supermoto is wonderful for commuting from my perspective. I'd even use it for touring now that I've got a comfier seat installed on it. The wind isn't too bad as long as you ain't going flat out all the time.
I absolutely love my DR-Z400SM which I bought used (less than 700 miles) last July. I added a rear rack, saddlebags, rear bag and tank bag, and I switch between it and my KLR for commuting/riding around town. The previous owner installed a larger tank and a slightly smaller rear sprocket for better cruising, so it's a nice setup. Even with the slightly higher gearing, it's still got some nice torque off the line and is quite peppy (especially compared to the KLR). Fantastic bike.
I bought a 2021 DRZ400SM and fully modded it out, without opening the motor up. It broke me into the sumo world, but it just lacks power no matter what you do to it, unless you mod the motor. After 2 seasons, I had to go get a 2024 KTM500exc-f and converted it to a sumo. I have ridden everything from CR80s to R1s to Harley's and the KTM500 sumo is the most fun I have ever had on 2 wheels. I cant imagine anyone who enjoys riding not having a total blast on it.
Great quality bike. 12,500 seems like a lot of money to spend on a super moto. I’m sure it’s a lot of fun to ride though.
No thanks, I got a 22' KLR650 😀
KLX300SM is a great beginner sumo
For mirrors if you are serious about dirt riding and better mirrors for street riding check out the Double Take Enduro Mirror Kit from Rocky Mountain ATV MC. The beauty of these mirrors is you can quickly unlock them and then fold them under your front guard so they are out of the way and will not clip on trees or fences or other obstacles. Then when you want to go back onto the streets where mirrors are useful you just flip them back up and lock them into position.
Too late. I'll still watch though.
Beautiful bike and congratulations on the purchase! I was torn between the 2023 Husqvarna 701 and the 2023 KTM 690 SMC R. Ended up getting the KTM last weekend and can’t wait for the weather to break up here in Michigan! This platform will be lots of fun!
1. You can buy an aftermarket windshield
Absolutely no BS, only information ppl DO need to be acknowledged. Great video!
The 690's/701's are really fun bikes to ride. Adding a seat concept seat will fix the hard seat issues and get rid of the mirrors for smooth air, put them down on the bars.
Great video, all I'd say, you're better off spending money on mirrors than a tail tidy. Much better value... also, touring is definitely not the best, but its totally doable, especially as you have a supemoto when you get to your destination, not a gs
Really cool bike, that fuel filler location would drive me nuts though since I like to remain seated on the bike at the fuel pump.
We have two Husky's and agree on all points raised. Great bikes for the $$ though. Very reliable. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome breakdown, I am looking for agility and duality as I am coming back to riding after raising my kids. This excellent information, I will be checking into the DRZ 400 SM, thank you😊 👍
Tbh I’d love to have one having test ridden the SMCR, but I know it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. I’d start on a KLX300SM first and get the base mechanics down first.
