DR-Z400E CAPE YORK EDITION
OVER 20,000 SOLD IN AUSTRALIA
The DR-Z400E put simply is an Australian off-road icon, with over 20,000 units sold since its introduction in electric-start guise in 2000.
A living testament to Suzuki's engineering team that a motorcycle, relatively unchanged for two decades is still as popular with weekend warriors today.
The DR-Z400E truly sits in a class of its own and offers Australian off-road riders a capable, ultra-reliable machine without the large price tag and intensive maintenance schedules of competition enduro models.

Electric Start
Rider-friendly electric engine starter with a lightweight electric starter motor and a compact, maintenance-free battery.
