2020 Suzuki DR-Z400S

The 2020 DR-Z400S is the latest version of the motorcycle that’s the foundation of the modern DualSport movement. Starting with the DR350S and then again with the DR-Z400S, Suzuki made fun, reliable, and capable motorcycles available to anyone who’s ready to take a ride down their favorite off-road trail or ribbon of asphalt.

Riders will be impressed with the amount of torque coming from the 398cc, liquid-cooled powerplant, as well as the crisp handling from the adjustable suspension. This ultra-reliable bike is completely street legal, with an electric start and easy-to-read instrument cluster. The solid black bodywork with contrasting white graphics make the bike stand out on the road, on the trail, or even when parked.

Whether you're on the highway or on a twisty forest path, the Suzuki DR-Z400S can't be beat.
