Suzuki DR-Z400S
The DR-Z400S was the definitive dual-sport motorcycle — genuinely road-legal and genuinely capable off-road. Its 398 cc liquid-cooled single produced 39 hp with a broad torque curve ideal for trail conditions, and its suspension travel and ground clearance exceeded most dedicated off-road bikes.
