Two in One Versus the Speed of Two

If a Suzuki GSX-R 750 has so much speed and agility, and the Suzuki DRZ400 can go on and off road with ease, which is a better choice? Both of the above bikes are spectacular for their respected purposes, but the DRZ400 sits just a small amount higher than its opponent because when it comes down to it, the DRZ is just more practical. The GSX-R 750 is without a doubt a great bike; it is well built and will last a long time, it is quite fast reaching speeds up to 170 miles per hour, and an individual looks rather cool speeding down the road on a nice and sparkly Suzuki GSX-R 750 (Suzuki GSX-R 750, 2012). On the downside, The GSX-R is marketed to younger riders who are inexperienced, which is very dangerous, considering this bike is known to be one of the fastest bikes to come straight from the factory. The DRZ400 cannot be considered safe because it’s still a motorcycle with two wheels, and if not properly operated, it could cause severe injury. The DRZ400 does not go near as fast as the GSX-R , but will still keep up with traffic just fine. The DRZ400 is also a dual sport bike, meaning that it is built ground up to mirror an off-road dirt bike, but has added the prerequisites given by the department of transportation to be street legal. While safety and looks are important when spending hard earned money on a bike, the basics should be considered, such as price, gas millage, and dependability. All of the above need to be considered when trying to decide between these two bikes, and because they are not even in the same class, a lot of thought and consideration should be used before making a final decision (McCraw, 2005).

A large difference between the DRZ 400 and the GSX-R 750 is the size of their engines. The DRZ has a 400 cubic centimeter single cylinder liquid cooled engine, while the GSX-R has a 750 Cubic Centimeter four...
