2009 SUZUKI DR650SE ***ONLY 780 MILES*** GARAGE KEPT, MINIMAL SCRATCHES, NEW ALL-TERRAIN TIRES OVER $1000 IN EXTRAS: Adjustable Lowering Links, Gel Seat (+original with Gel Pad), Rear Rack, Comfort Hand Grips, Turn Signal Rearview Mirrors, PIAA Xtreme White Plus Halogen Light, 2 LED Driving Lights, SICKSPEED Super Loud Tone Horn, Aftermarket Muffler, Clear Wind Shield (+1 bran new still in the box), Canvas Saddle Bags, Flashing Red LED Stoplight, and Aftermarket Front Fender (+original). Basic specs: An air-cooled, 644cc, single-cylinder, 40mm-Mikuni-carbureted dual-sport bike with a 58.7-in. wheelbase, a 34.8-in. seat height and weighing 366 lb. with its 3.4-gallon fuel tank fully topped up. Why it’s desirable: It’s not going to win any enduros or cross-country races, and it’s far from the lightest dual-sport motorcycle ever built. And it hasn’t significantly changed since it first became the SE model rather than the SR 17 years ago. But for anyone looking to do some fun, not-too-intense off-road exploring on a bike that can easily stay ahead of four-wheel traffic—or even run away from it if necessary—the DR650SE is an excellent, affordable choice. Not only is the SE’s counterbalanced engine noticeably faster, torquier and smoother than the big Singles powering its closest competitors (Honda’s XR650L and Kawasaki’s KLR650), it has a reputation for being downright bulletproof. What’s more, the chassis provides enough on- and off-road handling competence to let you have a good time without scaring the bejeezus out of you or hammering you to a pulp. Plus, if you’re a tad on the short side or don’t have an NBA-caliber inseam, Suzuki’s accessory department can provide you with a rear-suspension lowering kit that, in conjunction with a quick-and-easy sliding of the fork tubes up through the triple-clamps, can drop the seat height by about an inch and a quarter. Besides, look at the ridiculously low prices listed here; this is one heck of a lot of motorcycle for not a lot of money.
