BIG BIKE FOR A SMALL PRICE
The modest Suzuki DR650 is a popular touring bike in Australia and well thought of in parts of Europe and the US. Some Aussie long-distance adventure riders have clocked up close to 200,000 kilometres on their DRs, or ‘Dr Bigs’, and we’re told one guy has ridden his twice across Russia.
The DR650 is esteemed for several reasons but three in particular:
It’s dirt cheap. The recommended retail price in Australia right now is $8000.
It’s reliable. That’s how they get 200,000
