2006 Suzuki DR 650 SE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Suzuki for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2006 Suzuki DR 650 SE relies on a 644 cc (39.3 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 82.0 mm (3.9 x 3.2 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR 650 SE measures 147 kg (324 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 885 mm (34.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
