The Suzuki DR-Z400SM is a rugged and versatile motorcycle designed for those who love adventures. The motorcycle is built around a 398 cc liquid cooled four stroke engine which delivers a generous low-rpm torque and plenty of power. The engine is brought to life by an electric starter and is mated on a 5-speed constant mesh transmission.

The motorcycle’s speed is kept in check by a set of capable brakes which include a large 300mm floating-type rotor and dual-piston caliper, plus a 240mm rear disc brake with single-piston caliper.

The rider is met by a modern digital instrument cluster with speedometer, odometer, twin-trip meters with addition/subtraction capability, clock, timer and stopwatch functions.

The front wheel is kept in check by a long travel, Showa-brand inverted front fork which features adjustable compression/rebound damping. Out back, you’ll find a fully adjustable rear shock absorber with high/low speed compression damping.

The Suzuki DR-Z400SM is offered with a starting price of $6,999 and comes with a 12 moth unlimited mileage warranty.
