i think they'l be ok off small jumps, they have reasonably longer travel suspension. I asume its harder than a more dedicated off-roader becaue of the road bias. But you could have a bit of a laugh on it

My mate takes his off roading all the time - he swears by it

He's no pro off roading but then again I assume your not either

So go for it :)

If your looking at new then it won't be very good off road, they only come in the supermoto version now. On road they are a hoot. An older off road version should be quite good for green laning.

still looking what is people opinion on using the drz to commute say 40miles (80 miles round trip?) not sure if i am aloud to have 4bikes in the garage yet? so may trade in the sv?

Re: is it wrong?
 

I was looking at getting a DRZ, but i decided to get an SV instead.

A 2006 DRZ can be found on ebay for just over 2 grand with low mileage. If you want to do offroad stuff on it, then you can buy a set of the enduro version wheels, but its not a case of just swapping the wheels, the brake heights are different but it can be done.

The other alternative would be the KTM SMC650. Wow, what a beast. The loudest bike i have ever heard and they look great, but will set you back £3000 for a used one.

Re: is it wrong?
 

Get one.

im tempted enough!!:rolleyes:

what about that commute though 40miles? 80 mile round trip A-roads? cheers

Re: is it wrong?
 

If you've got 4 bikes, then you won't need to do the commute on the DRZ anyway, ja? Or are they not all your bikes :-)
