DR-Z400SM

The Essence of Supermotard Riding

Suzuki's SuperMoto DR-Z400SM is based on the proven DR-Z400S dual-sport model. As such, it combines Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight, street-legal package. This bike brings off-road soul and fun to paved streets.
The SuperMoto is as equally at home tearing up twisty forest roads, sailing around tight canyon corners, or weaving its way through commuter traffic.
