Suzuki Drz400s

The Suzuki Drz400s has a top speed of 145 km/h (estimated; note: varies with rider weight, gearing, and conditions), produces 33 hp and weighs 138 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La Suzuki DRZ400S se presentó en 2000 como una versión deportiva dual legal de la plataforma DRZ400, que también generó las variantes DRZ400E (enduro) y DRZ400SM (supermoto). Rápidamente se ganó una reputación por su fiabilidad infalible, su bajo mantenimiento y su versatilidad tanto en carretera como fuera de ella. La DRZ400S se convirtió en una de las favoritas de culto entre los ciclistas de aventura y de doble deporte, y se fabricó de forma continua prácticamente sin cambios durante más de dos décadas, lo que demuestra su sólido diseño original.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Bulletproof Engine Reliability

The DRZ400S uses a thumper single-cylinder engine known for lasting well over 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. It's widely considered one of the most reliable dual-sport engines ever built.

⚠️

Watch the Carb & Valves

The stock Mikuni BSR36 carburetor is notorious for running lean and should be re-jetted, especially if an exhaust or airbox mod has been done. Also check valve clearances, as they're often neglected by previous owners.

💰

Holds Value Exceptionally Well

The DRZ400S retains resale value better than almost any other dual-sport, often selling used for close to original MSRP. High demand and a loyal fanbase keep prices strong even on high-mileage examples.

"La navaja suiza a prueba de balas que nunca te defrauda."

Recorrí 22 000 km en una DRZ400S del 2003 cruzando carreteras de bomberos, desplazamientos y un día desacertado en pista, y la cosa simplemente se negó a romperse. El Tumper de 398 cc tiene una entrega de par satisfactoria y contundente en el pecho, que hace que una pista cerrada parezca casi fácil, aunque sentirás todas las vibraciones en las palmas de las manos en carreteras largas por encima de los 110 km/h. Esa configuración exclusiva para arrancar es realmente molesta en las mañanas frías (ritual de estrangulamiento, tres patadas como mínimo, cuarta si te olvidas del taladro) y la altura del asiento de 935 mm significa que los ciclistas más bajos siempre negocian con la gravedad en las paradas. Pero olvídate de las frustraciones y tendrás una moto que perdona los errores de los principiantes fuera de la carretera, recompensa la confianza en el acelerador y seguirá funcionando bien cuando todo lo demás de tu garaje haya ido al concesionario dos veces.

Pros

+Partes internas del motor casi indestructibles
+Torsión tractable de gama baja fuera de carretera
+Lo suficientemente ligero para senderos técnicos
+Soporte masivo de posventa disponible
+Maneja la negligencia y el abuso de manera estoica

Contras

El ritual de arranque en frío exclusivo de Kickstart es tedioso
Vibración brutal por encima de 110 km/h
La altura del asiento castiga a los pasajeros más bajos
El carburador tropieza en los cambios de altitud
Lo mejor para: Ciclistas aventureros que buscan una simplicidad indestructible Omitir si: Priorizas el confort en la carretera a diario
2010–2023 Gen 2

Reseña de un comprador usado

8.5/10
Lo mejor para
Commuters and weekend trail riders wanting reliability

"The most dependable used dual-sport your money can buy."

$3,500-$6,500 used

The DRZ400S is the cockroach of motorcycles — it simply refuses to die, and that's exactly why you should consider one. Suzuki built this thing with embarrassing simplicity: carbureted, air-cooled, bulletproof. I've seen examples with 30,000+ miles still running strong on original internals. The Mikuni carb does ice over in cold weather and the stock jetting is lean, but a $15 jet kit fixes that permanently. Buy one that's already been rejetted and you're golden.
