Drz400
Im still thinking about if i should go for a big twin (i really like the strom) or go for a thumper. I can see both their advantages. However the DRZ400 keeps popping in my head.
I can clearly see the advantages/disadvantages over the big vtwins but what about thumpers. What are teh advantages/disadvantages off/on road.
From what i read thumpers are vibey but handle off road well. They are easy to maintain. Parts available everywhere.
DRZ has a smaller engine. Supposedly extremely reliable. Uncomfortable seat. Handle off road extremely well. Light.
Would a DRZ do 60-70 mph comfortably loaded with luggage?
The trip ill be doing will be N/S America. (I change my mind a bit but it deffo looks like this is what ill be doing. Hopefully this year.
Also the bike ill be choosing will all depend on price and whats available at the time but its good to get background info
