Supermotard fan, rejoice! The major manufacturers have heard you and decided to offer machines to let off steam. From the DR-Z 400 S, this SM version will allow young wolves to appreciate the fun and sporty side of these turbulent motorcycles. A good trail is formidable in the mountains. And with 17-inch wheels fitted with sports tires, an inverted fork with multiple settings and a mono full of health, amateurs will be in for a treat. The front brake disc has grown enormously and will have no trouble stopping this machine, barely heavier than a 125. The SM will certainly cross swords (on the market, not on the track) with a certain Yamaha XT 660 X , heir to the same concept. The Suzuki will certainly be offered at a much more attractive price. Decidedly, the supermot ‘gives ideas to a lot of people.
Has the Marquis de Sade decided to dress in yellow? It seems because the 400 SM borrows certain ways from it that are not to displease us. Does his mill handle the whip or the velvet? In any case, he knows how to show you his sympathy and preserve his vibrations. At low speed, he spares his voice. Then, it amazes you with its flexibility. When you get to know him, the DR-Z 400 SM has everything of a gentleman: welcoming saddle, suspension smoothing the road, standard riding position and pleasant control set … The Suzuki is very urban.
When the game begins, the DR-Z SM reveals its charms that immediately encourage you to let go, or even to sway. Its size and weight as an allied cross-country machine with narrow tires make it a machine to twirl from turn to turn..
It turns on its own. The mill is not very generous in sensations but devilishly efficient. Bbbrooppp, broopp, broopp and we tumble down the main avenue at not very regulatory speeds in no time. Go right, it goes up the hill. The SM is even more amazing there. With its shoes that stick to the road, its tip-top chassis and its fork pricked to the 250 RM, the supermot ‘Suz allows a maximum of delirium.
“The cow, it’s excellent, I have to show that to the friends!” It is true that it is very exhilarating a sports machine like that. But friends, they’ll start by spoofing the DR. “It’s only a 400cc … There’s not even a trunk or tachometer … Hards off the location of the Neiman … Do you have a stepladder to get on the saddle? …” here is a handful of noodles which did not understand anything. Such a fun machine, you should not lend them so that they understand: they would drop it more.
