Segment: Enduro/Offroad
Production years: 2004, 2005
The 2005 MY DR-Z250 is the first of the very serious off-road Suzuki bikes, and a very important step towards the bigger machines. Still a carbureted model, the DR-Z250 is lightweight, too, because the cooling is made by air and oil. The response is precise and crisp, offering a rewarding experience to the rider who is not afraid to push his or her limits a bit.
With 249 cc of punchy displacement, and a 21-18 wheel combo, the 2005 MY DR-Z250 can effortlessly tackle rough terrain and obstacles, while being smooth and sharp around the corners. Adjustable suspensions bring in a lot of setup options for various riders and riding scenarios, while the hydraulic disc brakes offer solid stopping power, as well.
