Sustituyó a la anterior DR650S y se ha mantenido prácticamente sin cambios desde su introducción, lo que demuestra su diseño probado y fiable.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Legendary Long-Term Reliability
The DR650SE has run virtually unchanged since 1996, a testament to its bulletproof single-cylinder engine design. Owners regularly report 50,000–100,000+ miles with basic maintenance.
Watch the Carb & Valves
The stock Mikuni carb is known to run lean and may cause overheating or popping, often requiring a jet kit. Always verify valve clearances have been checked every 6,000 miles, as neglected valves are a common used-bike issue.
Strong Resale Value
The DR650 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and a cult following among adventure and dual-sport riders. A well-maintained example loses very little value compared to most motorcycles in its class.

"El imbatible golpeador que se niega a quedar obsoleto."
He recorrido 30 000 km con una DR650 en pistas de fuego, obstáculos en autopistas y desplazamientos urbanos, y la cosa absorbe el castigo sin quejarse: ese golpe de 644 cc de carrera larga tira con fuerza desde 3000 rpm y nunca se siente estresado a una velocidad de crucero de 120 km/h. El carburador funciona sin problemas de fábrica y es necesario rechazarlo antes de que deje de funcionar con decel, pero una vez arreglado, el combustible es nítido y predecible, de una manera que ninguna bicicleta FI moderna puede replicar del todo terreno. El asiento es realmente terrible (un ladrillo de espuma que te destruye después de dos horas) y la suspensión es lo suficientemente blanda como para que, para frenar bruscamente en una curva, sea necesario tener un poco de fe. Lo que Suzuki nunca reparó durante casi tres décadas lo compensó con la disponibilidad de piezas, la simplicidad y un mercado de reventa que demuestra que, con el tiempo, todo el mundo se da cuenta de que vale la pena tener esta bicicleta.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The sensible dual-sport that quietly outlasts everything around it."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe DR650 is one of motorcycling's best-kept secrets, and buying used is genuinely the smart play here. Suzuki barely changed this bike between 1996 and today, so a well-maintained 2005 rides almost identically to a 2023. That simplicity is the whole point. The carbureted single starts easily, makes honest midrange torque, and absolutely refuses to die. Check the air filter obsessively on used examples — owners who ride dirt tend to neglect it, and a clogged filter masks a lot of performance sins. The stock suspension is the DR's biggest weakness. It's set up soft for smaller riders and goes vague quickly on aggressive dirt work or two-up riding. Most serious owners have already thrown aftermarket springs at it, which is actually a buying positive — find one that's been modded properly and you're ahead. Also inspect the chain and sprockets hard; these bikes cover serious mileage and budget owners stretch them forever. Fuel tank range is genuinely poor at around 150 miles, plan accordingly.
