Vehicle Information
Suzuki DR-Z250 Dirt Bike (2001-2007)
The Suzuki DR-Z250, produced from 2001 to 2007, is a versatile off-road motorcycle known for its reliable performance and consistent design. It features a robust 249cc, 4-stroke, DOHC, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine with a 4-valve Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) cylinder head, paired with a six-speed gearbox. This model was positioned as a capable trail bike, offering a balance of power and user-friendliness for a wide range of riders. Throughout its production run from 2001 to 2007, the DR-Z250 maintained largely consistent specifications, with no distinct trim levels or significant mid-cycle engine changes. The 2001 model introduced updates like a new suspension system, but subsequent years, such as 2005, saw no modifications to its core characteristics. Notably, this model was also sold as the Kawasaki KLX250 from 2003 to 2006, with many major parts being interchangeable due to a brand alliance.
