So if you’ve been watching my previous vlogs the wife’s have been learning how to ride Suzuki dirt bike dr125 I had said previously that she’s taking an MSF course. This is the Monday of the week she’s taking the course she’s been doing really good on the sea or up until I blew it up. I’d also said that I might be selling a Suzuki dr125 or trading it in. I cannot get rid of the dr650 so we went to the village she sat on a ninja 300 and she really likes it. She was worried about the sweat back because of how her feet are positioned. Her ergonomics so you guys got to understand my wife is really new on riding a bike. It is a little bit of difference it really screwed with her mind as far as confidence.
My first impressions on this bike is literally a baby dr. I’m going 62 I feel like I got some head shake there this is a really lightweight bike. I definitely feel some head shake definitely feel a little squirmy. It doesn’t feel unsafe to me at these speeds but definitely noticeable. As far as the ergonomics goes you’re straight-up riding position just like any other dual-sport. It’s got no power comparatively however I mean I’m going to speed. We roll on full throttle and it’s taking a while to let me going at the tough position. I do a quick top speed video on the dr650 and see we’re at I’m wide open right now. When you get in the tub definitely feel kind of a head shaky or an uneasy feeling. I’ve been wide open all this whole time it looks like a tap 70 and slowed down. I’m gonna go with 70 miles an hour from the dealership that’s not bad for 200 cc bike.
This thing is a dirt bike practically you know so that’s not bad at all. Maybe I’ll do one more up here in little ways but I think 70 is all she’s got there. One thing I did notice about is the dr 200 there’s no Gladius john sticker right here. I think that’s a factory defect we’re gonna go ahead and correct that we’ll definitely do that when I get a chance. I’m going to get a quick suspension and brakes I’m going to see what they feel like because I’ve been wide open on this highway the whole time. I haven’t really been able to feel that so much I’m sure they’re not great.
What I’m curious about is if this thing has that dive in the front end like the dr650. It’s got a disc rotor in the front and a drum in the rear so I wonder how the rear modulates. It might be kind of tricky don’t know so far I got it. This thing is really enjoyable the seat it’s like a two before I’m not sure the actual measurements of it. I’ve gone where we up sixteen miles I don’t have any discomforts yet. All right so rear brake doesn’t feel all that powerful whoopsie. The front brake doesn’t have that drive that’s good and boom. It looked okay let’s go for one more top speed run while we’re at it downhill tuck. As far as ergonomics and feeling fatigued after 27 miles I don’t like sitting in a freaking kitchen chair. This bike mirror suck as usual Suzuki at least a dual-sport ones do go to pro cycle or something.
Get the fold in one’s extended arm has no rpms or no tachometer speedometer no fuel gauge. There is no reserved neutral light turn signals hazard or yet no hazards. Let’s see what the horn sounds like I figured we’re gonna leave this off. I’m gonna give you a quick walk around on the bike pretty sharp bike. I blew it up nice that’s cool I probably won’t stay there it’ll get all kind of rusty muddy color. Dr 200 is enough we got the dr650 and now we got the dr 200.
