The Suzuki DR-Z400 is a dual-sport motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki beginning in 2000. It is powered by a single-cylinder, 398 cc (24.3 cu in), liquid-cooled four-stroke engine.[2]

Kawasaki marketed a private labeled version of the DR-Z known as the KLX400 – it is nearly identical to the DR-Z400 except for bodywork and some accessories.[2]


The DR-Z is used by the Australian Army and is slightly modified for the Army role.[citation needed]
