Sellers Comments

This Used SUZUKI DR Z400 motorbike for sale I am the original owner, and bought the bike new in November 2006. I‘m selling due to lack of use. Friends convinced me to come trail riding then could not follow up due to starting families, so this bike has only been off road once, and the rest has been quiet rides up Mt Glorious very occasionally.

The bike is completely original except for the tyres. These were given away and better tyres for trail riding put on, although they have been used 95% on road anyway so I would have been better off leaving the originals on. The current tyres were put on at around 1000km and show very little sign of wear.

The only modifications done were those derestricting the engine, performed by a mechanic, and I put a smaller 41 tooth sprocket on the rear when I realised the bike wasn‘t going to be used off road. I still have the original sprocket virtually unused.

"The Suzuki DRZ400S is currently the best dual purpose bike on the market." - 4strokes.com

"This is a fun and capable motorcycle. From city street blasting to very serious trail riding, and even freeway flying, the DR-Z400S does it." - MD Ride Review
"The DRZ400 motor is the most flexible and enjoyable mill around at the moment and this is what makes the DRZ so attractive." - Dirt Bike World
