At the heart of the 2006 Suzuki DR-Z 250 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 73.0 x 59.6 mm (2.9 x 2.3 inches) with a 10.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR-Z 250 measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry. 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 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
