2009 Suzuki DR-Z400S
The DR-Z400S looks like an
off-road
machine, and it is - with all the unmatched performance
capabilities you'd expect from a Suzuki. But look a little
more carefully and you'll see you get a bonus: it's
100-percent street legal.
The DR-Z400's exceptional off-road
performance should come as no surprise. After all, it uses
the same advanced suspension as the renowned DR-Z400E. It also
has a lightweight, compact design that helps it offer crisp
handling everywhere from tight, technical trails to wide-open
fire roads.
Off-road or on the street, the DR-Z400S provides strong torque
across the powerband and amazing throttle response. And it
features remarkably smooth performance,
complemented by conveniences such as electric starting and a
compact, easy-to-read instrument cluster.
On the trail or cross town, you can't beat the Suzuki
DR-Z400S.
