2020 Suzuki DR200S

Beginner riders may have their eyes on Suzuki’s smallest-displacement dual sport, the DR200S. Its sub-300-pound weight makes it maneuverable both on and off-road making it a manageable option for newer riders trying their hand at both. The 199cc air-cooled and carbureted engine provides moderate power that is unintimidating to the target audience. Not only does the RM-Z styling make it look off-road ready, the 8.1-inch suspension travel of the telescopic fork and single shock help carry it over dirt and rocky terrain. Disc front and drum rear brakes also offer adequate braking performance.

Direct competition would be the Yamaha TW200, but slightly more powerful options like the Honda CRF250L/Rally and Kawasaki KLX230.

Solid Iron Gray is a solid (and only choice) in color for the 2020 DR200S.
