With a glance at the DR 650S from Suzuki and you might just dismiss it as an enduro bike. That would be doing it an injustice. It’s really a basic adventure bike that will get you off the pavement and into the woods with perhaps more gumption than a real adventure bike.

It’s not the most attractive bike in the stable, though it’s small and scrappy and so much fun to ride. With it priced so affordably, dropping it isn’t a tragic as it would be otherwise and it’s lightweight enough that you can pick it up and keep going.
