Construida en torno al probado motor monomotor de cuatro tiempos refrigerado por líquido de 398 cc, rápidamente se ganó el culto por su manejo ligero y ágil y su excepcional agilidad urbana.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Legendary Engine Reliability
The DRZ400 engine is renowned for lasting well over 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. Its simple, carbureted design makes it easy and cheap to work on yourself.
Watch the Carb & Valves
The stock Mikuni carb is known to run lean and can cause overheating — a JD Jet Kit is a popular and cheap fix. Also check valve clearances, as they are often neglected by previous owners.
Strong Resale Value
The DRZ400SM holds its value exceptionally well due to a loyal fanbase and Suzuki discontinuing it in many markets. Clean examples rarely depreciate significantly, making it a smart used buy.

"La supermoto que reconfiguró el funcionamiento de la diversión."
Recorrí casi 18.000 km en una DRZ400SM del 2007 y eso cambió mi forma de pensar sobre la conducción: no necesitas 100 caballos de fuerza cuando cada curva es un regalo y no pesa nada. A partir de 3000 rpm, la moto de 398 cc tira con la suficiente fuerza como para que el tráfico urbano sea realmente entretenido, y esas horquillas invertidas con dos discos frontales te proporcionan una respuesta real, no la sensación de entumecimiento que se obtiene al conducir desnudo más pesado. En los viajes por carretera es donde entra en juego la honestidad: a 130 km/h se siente a toda velocidad, la ráfaga de viento mata por encima de los 120 y ese depósito de 12 litros hará que te detengas cada 180 km. Pero nada de eso importa cuando recorres carreteras secundarias de fin de semana con aros de 17 pulgadas: el motor gira en dirección más rápido de lo que tu cerebro envía la señal, y el golpe de torsión del motor hace que cada rampa de salida parezca una vuelta de victoria.
Pros
Contras
Actualizaciones menores de carbohidratos y emisiones; mecánicamente prácticamente sin cambios; los gráficos y los colores solo se actualizan con el paso de los años.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"The best urban canyon tool that refuses to ever quit."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe DRZ400SM is one of those bikes that refuses to die, and that's exactly why you should consider one. Suzuki built these things like tanks — the 400cc thumper engine is virtually bulletproof if it's been maintained, and finding one with 30,000 miles that still rips is genuinely common. Check the carb jets (previous owners love to mess with jetting and forget to mention it), inspect the rear subframe for cracks from wheelie-happy idiots, and peek at the fork seals. They're notorious for weeping. Be realistic about what you're getting though. Highway cruising above 70mph turns into a vibrating misery session, and the stock suspension is firmly aimed at someone lighter than most adults. Budget for a respring if you're over 180lbs. The supermoto wheels are a joy in town and on canyon sweepers, but this isn't a sportbike — it's a precision tool for specific riding. Owned right, they're nearly unbreakable. Thrashed and neglected, they'll still probably run.
