Suzuki Drz400sm
The Suzuki Drz400sm has a top speed of 155 km/h, produces 40 hp and weighs 148 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
De Suzuki DRZ400SM werd in 2005 geïntroduceerd als de supermoto-variant van de DRZ400-reeks, die zelf in 2000 debuteerde. Het beschikt over een 17-inch wielconfiguratie met plakkerige straatbanden, verbeterde Tokico-remklauwen en omgekeerde vorken, waardoor hij geoptimaliseerd is voor agressief rijden op straat en op het circuit. Het werd een van de meest populaire en duurzame supermoto-machines die ooit zijn geproduceerd en bleef grotendeels ongewijzigd in productie dankzij zijn bewezen betrouwbaarheid en cultstatus.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Eerste supermoto-release gebaseerd op de DRZ400S; 17-inch wielen, straatbanden, verbeterde remmen, styling gericht op de stad.
"De stedelijke hooligan-tool die nooit oud wordt."
Ik heb 14.000 km gereden op een SM uit 2008 en heb nog steeds niets gevonden dat met dezelfde grijns per kilometer door het stadsverkeer rijdt — de draaimoment trekt hard vanaf 3.000 tpm en die 17-inch supermoto-wielen zorgen ervoor dat het wisselen van rijstrook telepathisch aanvoelt. Cruisen op de snelweg boven 110 km/u is echt vermoeiend; de motor zoemt zijn tanden uit en een windstoot verandert je nek in een draagarm, dus dit is nadrukkelijk een wapen voor stads- en binnenwegen, geen tourer. De carburateur draait vanaf de fabriek slecht en struikelt op koude ochtenden tot je hem goed blaast. Zorg voor een middag en een Dynojet-set voordat je hem vertrouwt. Wat Suzuki helemaal goed deed, was het chassis: licht, beweegbaar en eerlijk genoeg dat je door die brede balken elke nuance van de weg voelt zonder daarvoor gestraft te worden.
Pluspunten
Nadelen
Kleine updates, waaronder herziene afbeeldingen en kleurenschema's; mechanisch grotendeels ongewijzigd ten opzichte van de oorspronkelijke generatie.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The ultimate urban weapon if you buy one with documented maintenance."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe DRZ400SM is one of those rare bikes that's genuinely hard to kill. Suzuki built this thing with a bullet-proof single-cylinder thumper that'll run forever if the previous owner wasn't a complete idiot. Check the valve clearances first — they're cheap to do but often neglected, and a rattly top-end tells you everything about how the bike was maintained. The supermoto wheels are a magnet for bent rims, so spin them carefully and look for wobble before handing over cash. What you're getting is essentially a dirt bike wearing road shoes, and that's exactly the appeal. It's nimble, flickable, and will embarrass sportbikes through tight urban traffic. Power is modest at around 40hp, but it's delivered in a way that never catches you out. Fuel injection would've been nice, but the carb is simple and responds well to a jet kit if the previous owner hasn't already done it. Expect high mileage examples to need a carb clean, fresh chain and sprockets, and possibly a rear shock rebuild. Budget accordingly.
