1995 Suzuki DR 350 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Suzuki for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 1995 Suzuki DR 350 S features a 349 cc (21.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 30 HP (21.9 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 29 Nm (21.4 lb-ft) at 6,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 86 HP per liter and a 2,550 rpm working window between peak torque (6,200 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the DR 350 S measures 118 kg (260 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (3.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 130 km/h (81 mph).
