can anyone tell me anything about the suzuki dr650 sm . i never knew there was a bigger super motard from suzuki other than the drz400. i was wondering what year they were made and when did they stop making them.i had to drop some stuff off at our local welders shop and noticed hiding under a car lift a mint blue suzuki super motard that either had a 650 or a 450 but couldnt tell since there was couple other bikes in the way . i asked the guys there if they could tell me anything but they had no idea about it and the guy that owned it was out of town. does anyone have one of these ?

I think they made them through early 2000's...Theyre more of an enduro than a motard, if it has 17" SM wheels the owner probally swapped them on.

A bit heavy compared to some other choices and upgrades are probally limited, but I've never taken much interest in them to know for sure. Check out SMJ they have a brand/model specific section.

Would probally make a good commuter tho.
