How's this for a red-hot
combination? Take the incredible versatility and performance
of Suzuki's renowned DR-Z400. Mix in street-legal capabilities
and unmatched handling. Then add a double shot of aggressive
Suzuki styling and attitude. The result is the 2008 DR-Z400SM.
For exceptional performance on the street, the DR-Z400SM
offers remarkably smooth performance, along with a rush of
torque across the powerband. For crisp handling, it features a
lightweight, compact design, complemented by advanced
suspension front and rear, including a Motocross-derived
inverted fork.
All this performance at a value that earned the DR-Z400SM
"Best Bang for the Buck" runner up in Motorcyclist
Magazine's 2007 "Motorcycle of the Year" awards.
