Vehicle Information
Suzuki DR250 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1982-2013)
The Suzuki DR250, produced from 1982 to 2013, is a dual-sport and enduro motorcycle renowned for its versatility and off-road capabilities. Initially launched with a 249cc single-cylinder SOHC air-cooled engine, it underwent several significant evolutions over the years. Around 1990, the DR250S was upgraded with an oil-cooled engine and inverted front forks. The mid-1990s saw the introduction of the DR250R and Djebel models, with the DR250R featuring a DOHC oil-cooled engine and an electric starter. In the early 2000s, the DR-Z250 marked a major redesign, incorporating a DOHC 4-valve air/oil-cooled engine, a balancer shaft, a 6-speed gearbox, and an electric starter with kickstart backup, along with a modernized chassis. These changes allowed the DR250 to adapt to the evolving demands of enduro and trail riders. FAQ:
