Suzuki Drz400sm
The Suzuki DRZ400SM was introduced in 2005 as the supermoto variant of the DRZ400 lineup, which itself debuted in 2000. It features a 17-inch wheel setup with sticky street tires, upgraded Tokico brake calipers, and inverted forks, making it optimized for aggressive street and track riding. It became one of the most popular and enduring supermoto machines ever produced, remaining in production largely unchanged due to its proven reliability and cult following.

What Buyers Should Know
Bulletproof Engine Reliability
The DRZ400's single-cylinder engine is renowned for lasting well over 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. It's one of the most reliable dual-sport engines ever made, rarely leaving owners stranded.
Watch the Carb & Valves
The stock Mikuni carb is known to run lean and cause flat spots — a common fix is a rejetting kit. Also check valve clearances, as neglected ones can lead to costly top-end work.
Strong Resale Value
The SM holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and limited production — used examples often sell close to original retail price. A well-maintained DRZ400SM rarely sits unsold for long.
