Back in 2000, Suzuki fit its splendid DR-Z400E enduro with street-legal equipment, the end result being the DR-Z400S, a bike with off-road performance exceeding that of most other dual-purpose bikes. The S-model uses the same high-quality suspension and lightweight, sharp-handling chassis as the E, making it capable of dealing with everything from tight, technical trails to wide-open fireroads to city streets to open highways. The liquid-cooled four-stroke Single is blessed with crisp throttle response and strong torque, and it's even remarkably smooth-revving at freeway speeds.
