La Suzuki DR-Z400SM (SuperMoto) a été introduite en 2005 en tant que variante de supermoto homologuée pour la route du DR-Z400S tout-terrain, dotée de roues de 17 pouces et d'un réglage de suspension orienté sport. Construit autour du moteur quatre temps à refroidissement liquide éprouvé de 398 cm³, il est rapidement devenu culte pour sa légèreté, sa maniabilité et son agilité urbaine exceptionnelle. Il reste en production avec un minimum de modifications, ce qui témoigne de sa solide ingénierie et de sa popularité durable auprès des navetteurs urbains et des amateurs de supermoto.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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 qui a repensé la façon dont le fun fonctionne."
J'ai parcouru près de 18 000 km sur une DRZ400SM 2007 et cela a changé ma façon de penser la conduite : vous n'avez pas besoin de 100 chevaux lorsque chaque virage est un cadeau et que le véhicule ne pèse rien. Le moteur de 398 cm3 tire suffisamment fort à 3 000 tr/min pour rendre la circulation urbaine vraiment divertissante, et ces fourches inversées dotées de deux disques frontaux vous donnent un véritable feedback, et non l'engourdissement que vous ressentez sur des personnes nues plus lourdes. C'est sur l'autoroute que l'honnêteté entre en jeu : 130 km/h, c'est une sensation de bourdonnement et d'exposition, le vent vous tue à plus de 120 km/h et ce réservoir de 12 litres vous obligera à vous arrêter tous les 180 km. Mais rien de tout cela n'a d'importance lorsque vous parcourez les routes secondaires du week-end sur des cerceaux de 17 pouces : cela change de direction plus vite que votre cerveau n'envoie le signal, et le bruit sourd du moteur donne l'impression que chaque bretelle de sortie est un tour de victoire.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
