2001 Suzuki DR650SE Sport Bike reviews

Suzuki dealers are discounting 2001's $700, so for $4800 I have the perfect city bike - especially in Manhattan where the pot holes will swallow a small car! Smooth, torquey and surprisingly fast the DR slices through gridlock with a slim profile and high riding position that ensures the view ahead. Good brakes and suspension with a great Motah, what a deal ! Show less

Just for the record, I don't give a perfect to ANYTHING! That tells you how close this one comes. I've gone about 4k miles so far, 'cause it's still snowing here this year, and this bike has been great. Despite what you've heard, the seat will soften with use (or maybe I got tougher!), and you can get at least a couple of hours before you need to stop for a minute. I'm in Cleveland, and I've gone all the way to the bottom of the state, and I can tell you, it's competent on the freeway, but you WILL get tired from fighting the wind. Ride the freeway when you have to. The engine has no vibration and lots of power. The height lets you see over almost all traffic, and the tires are good on the street or in the dirt, although better on the street. Great bike! Show less
