Introducing a revolutionary new motorcycle, Suzuki Australia has
released its first-ever production supermotard machine - the
exciting new four-stroke DR-Z400SM.
“Suzuki has released the new DR-Z400SM in response to the
booming supermotard market around the globe,” Glyn Griffiths,
National Marketing Manager – Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia
said.
“The supermotard is an extremely versatile
motorcycle… it allows riders the freedom for off-road
adventures and the practicality of road registerabilty, without
compromising on exceptional performance and handling.
“We expect production supermotard machines to be the next
big trend in Australia and we’re excited about our first
foray into this untapped market.”
Suzuki’s all-new supermotard machine is engineered for
sporting performance and versatility, basing its design on the
incredibly popular DR-Z400E.
The power-packed Suzuki DR-Z400SM employs a 398cc, four-stroke,
single cylinder, DOHC, liquid cooled engine to offer plenty of
torque right across the powerband.
Combining the exceptionally compact powerplant with a slim,
lightweight chassis design, the new 100% street-legal DR-Z400SM
machine offers the perfect balance for handling on and off
road.
Derived from Suzuki’s World Supercross GP Championship
winning RM250, the supermotard’s fully adjustable suspension,
including inverted front forks, is tailored for superior off-road
handling and smooth street performance.
Riding on wide, 17-inch, high-grip radial tyres, black aluminium
rims, large diameter disc brakes and finished with an aggressive
black livery, the DR-Z400SM offers cool street cred and
exhilarating performance.
Featuring a 12-month unlimited kilometre warranty, the 2006
Suzuki DR-Z400SM is now available in Australia in September at a
suggested retail price of $9,590 (inc GST).
