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), carbureted, 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]
The DR-Z400 has been produced in four variants:
- DR-Z400 - kick-start only, not street legal (US), possibly street legal (AUS).
- DR-Z400E - electric-start, not street legal (US), street legal (AUS)
- DR-Z400S - street legal (headlight, taillight, turn signals, mirrors and horn)
- DR-Z400SM - Supermoto, first year 2005, street legal, comes standard with 17-inch (430 mm) sportbike inspired wheels, oversize front and rear brakes, RMZ rear swing-arm and inverted forks.
