Continue your breathtaking journey as the DR650SE will go the extra mile. The bike has exceptional handling with technically advanced front forks and a smooth powerband to accelerate through the corners. Powered by a 644cc four-stroke engine, the DR650SE is your ticket to an adventure of a lifetime.

Light and maneuverable, the DR650SE adds meaning to dual sport motorcycling with freedom and exhilaration. Powerful performance on the street and over trails is the result of an ideal power-to-weight ratio, front forks with a progressive action, a range of high-quality features and tough design. Discover the dual sport the way it was meant to be. The DR650SE will take you there.

Features may include:

• A compact, powerful 644cc, SOHC, four-stroke, air-cooled, engine features Suzuki Advanced Cooling System (SACS). Piston-jet cooling and an engine oil cooler further enhance consistent performance in a variety of conditions. The engine is tuned with an emphasis on powerful performance at low-to-mid RPM range.

• Gear-driven single counter balancer system minimizes engine vibration for comfortable ride.

• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coated aluminum cylinder is used for durability, weight reduction and superior heat transfer.

• Digitally mapped DC-CDI ignition system provides accurate ignition timing to maintain efficient combustion.

• A convenient electric starter (combined with a mechanical automatic decompression system) provides easy, quick starting.

• A Mikuni 40mm carburetor enhances throttle response and overall engine performance.

• A painted stainless-steel exhaust system is light and corrosion-resistant, and tuned specifically for strong low and midrange power.

• A smooth-shifting wide-ratio 5-speed transmission is complemented by an O-ring sealed final drive chain.

• Innovative cartridge front forks combine the best features of conventional and inverted designs, providing smooth and progressive action. Large diameter, thin-walled tubes reduce unsprung weight while maintaining high rigidity.

• A lightweight, compact, rigid semi-double cradle frame provides agile handling on and off road. Use of thin-wall/large-diameter tubing reduces weight while increasing frame rigidity.

• A link-type rear suspension with piggyback-style shock absorber and adjustable compression damping provides stable damping performance.

• Front and rear suspensions both provide long 260mm (10.2-inch) wheel travel for superb performance over rough terrain.

• Lightweight 290mm (11.4-inch) front floating disc brake with two-piston caliper and 240mm (9.4-inch) rear disc brake with two-piston caliper provide reliable stopping power.

• Hollow-type wheel axles and an aluminum swingarm reduce unsprung weight.
