Segment: Enduro/Offroad
Production years: 2000, 2001
Having dropped the final S suffix in its name, the DR-Z400 badge obviously introduces the new off-road model of the acclaimed Suzuki middleweight machine. The 2001 MY DR-Z400 retains all the character of the street-legal bike, but drops the turn signals and other similar amenities which make it road-compliant.
This means that you'll be riding a punchy 398cc liquid-cooled single which can produce 48 hp when revved to 9000 rpm, and whose light weight will make it exceedingly fun along the trails, still without any intimidating factor, and being thus suitable for more than highly-experienced riders.
