The Suzuki DR350 has a long-standing reputation as one of the best Dual Sport motorcycles available. Simplistic, reliable, and easy to squeeze extra performance from, these bikes have been the weapon of choice for many Dual Sport and ADV rider. From the very beginning of the ride, the Suzuki impressed us. Though the 350s power output is marginal at best, Suzuki engineers did a great job of matching the six speed gear ratios to the power at hand. In first gear you can pick your way up slippery hills with no problem. It will actually put Honda’s XR650L to shame in these conditions as the more powerful Honda has an embarrassingly tall first gear, which incidentally matches it’s seat height. It’s actually impressive how the DR pulls in any gear, given it’s lackluster horsepower. Even at 65mph on the blacktop, the bike has some roll-on power left to pass. Suzuki’s dirt-simple dirt plugger is the bedrock on which green-laning is based. Simple, rugged and cheap the Suzuki DR350 is an easy motorcycle to own forever.
