Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2025

Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2025

The Suzuki DR-Z4SM is not a supermoto monster, but an honest entry-level bike with supermoto genes. Horsepower of 38 from 398 cubic centimetres is enough for surprisingly fast lap times on the kart track, even if ambitious riders will miss more power. The comfortably tuned suspension forgives mistakes and makes the DR-Z4SM controllable even for less experienced riders. The early-acting ABS can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the intended use. As an everyday motorbike with a supermoto look, the DR-Z4SM impresses with its accessibility and reliability. Suzuki has built a bike that conveys riding pleasure without fear. From the perspective of a former supermoto world champion, it is a successful comeback for the brand in a segment that it once helped to shape.
