Built around Suzuki's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2017 Suzuki DR200S pairs a 198 cc (12.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 66.0 x 58.2 mm (2.6 x 2.3 inches) with a 9.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR200S measures 126 kg (278 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 845 mm (33.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
