Built around Suzuki's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2017 Suzuki DR650SE pairs a 644 cc (39.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 82.0 mm (3.9 x 3.2 inches).
On the scales, the DR650SE measures 166 kg (366 lbs) wet (curb). 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 12.87-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
