The 5 Speed DRZ is horrible on long high speed trips; but their immortality is the reason they haven't changed in over 20 years 👍

Where did you get the 21 inch rim from, from what bike?

It’s more than “you don’t need”, it’s you need the exact opposite.

Fantastic video. Thank you. I am super happy with my Tenere World raid for long distance touring and some light off-roading. But I would never imagine taking it for serious Enduro type off-roading. While it's only 72 horsepower, it still weighs just under 500 pounds. That's a lot of bike to lift

I came to a similar conclusion riding on back roads on my KLR 650 about power. Was going plenty fast, and realized, it was fast enough. So, why would i need more power? I don't.

Cracking adventure Sean, awesome trails and scenery. As always great video mate 👍🏻

Does anyone happen to know where I might find some photo's from the Pajinka Wilderness Lodge BEFORE it was abandoned? Searches turn up pretty much nothing useful. Seems like the place is more popular since it's abandonment than when it was operational. There's a million pics of the ruin, but I want to see what it was like BEFORE.

The overwhelming majority of adventure bike owners never go off road and would be better off with a sport touring bike. But thanks to adventure bikes eating through the sport touring segment, the amount of sport touring bikes available is dwindling every year.

In under a minutes, you've covered all kinds of terrain I never want to ride on! lol

Hell yeah 🤪

Get something like a drz400e, done

What everyone else..excellent vid👍

It's not the 100+hp. It's the 200+kg. IMO they're not off road touring bikes either. They're road bikes than can cope with some unsealed roads. I used to have a Cagiva Elefant and that's what that was to me: a road bike.

I ride a Versys X300. Not sad about it, love the bike. It’s a great mix of both, but I can pick it up by myself.

With the right tires you could have crossed that river-- the Michelin Moses HydroMax Adventure radials.

tks for rhe video. what springs and where did u buy for suspensions? tks

Great adventure, good as a team and all on the same bike.

Watching this on a Bali bike tour, love from the whole crew bro

Nice job Sean. Hit us up for a ride if you’re down in Vic 👍🏻

Excellent video mate. Very entertaining as usual love the way you piece together all the highlights. yep it is the land of high Adventure alright one of my favourite places. Spent a month there after the previous OCR exploring every track I was allowed on amazing place. It is where the rally convinced me of its capabilities, fully loaded and solo it just walked over everything much easier then my DR and definitely much easier then my BM 1150 😅. Even the soft bulldust of the Starkle and the goldfields track did not faze it much, what an amazing little bike. Not much fun to dewater though, thankfully it only happened once. Love ❤️ the way you sent the canary to the Starkle track lol

Fantastic. What an awesome experience and great video.

The Cape..always a great adventure. How about the mighty DRZ🚤👍

Great work, mate 👍

One of the best adventure videos that I have seen on UA-cam …cheers.

Good underwater footage of the crossing 👍

Amazing video mate! Stay upright 🙂

I stopped just 2 mins into this to ask what special techniques might be used when a bike go down under water? I know you got to get it out ASAP but is there any preferred method to help get her up/going again? SO I'm back for part 2 of my post; unbelievable footage of beautiful places & I couldn't make it thru day one of that place. Some hard riders/tough too. Makes the DRz400 shine & I like it for simplicity. Don't need a lot of electronics on your bike, the only one I might want for the street side of riding is an ABS system but just on the streets. Great video peace

Very true and honest view on adventure bikes.

Just bought a rally , your videos have been a great education cheers !

My first adventure bike....Honda Africa Twin. The first time it fell over and I had to pick it up I thought to myself "Opps...I think I made a mistake." I am mostly a road rider with no off road experience. I've decided to get a Honda crf 250 and learn to off road on it until I have the skills to move up to my Africa Twin. I think the ideal size is probably a 450 cc - 650 cc size bike, with a larger fuel tank, at least 5.5 gallons, and some protection on it. These bikes / tires are by their very nature a compromise, road vs off road, it's a compromise that you have to do your best with selecting the right bike. I respect your selection of the Honda crf 300 rally but it's weakness is anything over 50 mph, so even your ultimate decision is one of compromise.

Quick thoughts from a guy who has both bikes. I got the 500 because the 300L almost killed me more than once in technical, exposed dirt situations. The 500 is incredibly safe comparably because of the weight/handling and power on technical terrain. What y'all were riding here is perfect for the 300L. If that's all I rode, I'd be fine riding the 300L. But, what I typically ride on for ADV trips in the Western US puts me in genuine sketchy, technical situations, so I love the 500, it's a freaking scalpel. Last year on Engineer's pass, a rocky, bumpy and at times exposed trail in the Rocky mountains, my buddy and I on really old 520 and 450 KTM's blew by 6 riders on their crf300l's (a 300L club?). We were riding at a light racing pace to meet folks at a pickup point we were late for, while the 300L's were granny-piddling along at super low speeds trying not to crash in the technical stuff. I'm just an amateur rider, FYI, my buddy says a "slow c class". I felt worried for the guys on the 300Ls thinking it was dumb to put those bikes on that trail. To be fair, I was assuming none had upgraded their suspension, which changes a lot. There's a youtuber with a k-tech suspension upgrade (and ecu too I think) who rips his 300L in the dirt like a champ. I'm not him but if you're an awesome rider, then maybe like Chris Birch on his 890, you can upgrade the 300L, have the reliability, and push it a bit in the dirt too up to it's power limits at least. Having said that, my damn 500 engine just blew up at 6K miles, and KTM says it's too many highway miles (I put maybe 500 on it over it's life, but probably did 20 or so rides with 30 min between 70-80mph, seems like nothing?!). For KTM America, highway miles more than just a few between trails in the slow lane is a no no on a 500. So, I think the 500 is leagues above the 300l in every way except now the one that counts, reliability. Breaking down in the middle of no where solo because of a delicate, high performance engine is no longer an option. The relatively dangerous, boring, gutless (in technical stuff where you need torque down low) 300L is going to be the albatross that I now have to wear and it hurts but it's the best ultra light weight "miles bike", which I guess I need for reliability, after the discontinuation of the WR's.... man the 500 is soooooo much better and fun and able, sooo much. Crap!

Crucial information, great narrative along the way, this is really valuable for any of us who do solo. Thanks so much, keep riding brother.

What happen if only i do the cbr cams?

The Blair Witch Project 3.0 😅 What about any wildlife at night? Did you encounter any?

DCT anyone …

I've been following you for a while and you've been great but this is not ok. Fair enough you want adventure but you weren't prepared and shit could've gone really wrong. Think about the emergency service people who have to come and get you because you break your leg because you don't have enough light or you crash. Not cool.

At least it was warm. Can you imagine what would have happened to you in Norway?

With a set of knobby tires my Grom will go anywhere.

How much did you spend in speed enhancements and how much in total on the bike

Really good video buddy, I've got a CRF and it goes everywhere yet my mates still think big Adventure bikes are required and they're looking at big GS's and Africa Twins...

Smart video! The KTM 500cc twin was the real deal for mid-weight ADV... But the cancel the proyect! Too bad!

Dough, this sort of talk could be misunderstood as common sense. It will not go down well in the pub telling everyone about yea latest purchase and how good it is because it cost £xxxxx

So im inbetween a crf300l rally with all the mods youve done; or just picking up an africa twin and going from there. My only concern is how all the mods effect reliability? Im pretty maintenence savvy, just worried about the overall changed playing with the reliability of the bike. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info You could have filled in the middle with the KLR and such

No Harley is designed for trails. An Africa twin rider who doesn’t plan to reduce tire pressure by half, preferably more, needs to stay on hard dirt or pavement.

What a vista. Watch out for the big lizards! How does the drz compare to the crf?

You just stopped me from buying a 460 pound adventure bike. I was literally going to buy it after work today! When I was about 12 my friend had a Honda 90 trail bike and we had a blast riding it all over the badlands of eastern Montana. So when I started looking for a bike I was wondering about the 250-350 class dual sports and if they wouldn’t be better. I never thought about the power but the weight savings and lower COG gave me pause. I guess I will have another look at the smaller ones again.

Dickheaddickheaddickhead. Stop and enjoy..... City slicker.........

DRZ Weezer!!!!! I love my 2001

Awesome mate I watched Adam Rs 3 part series on his trip and it looks like your in for an awesome ride.
