“Asthmatic hair dryer”

written by brakenoodle on 19/01/2013

I had my DR350 new and was, to be honest, influenced by the bike press who raved about this bike. Much of what they said was true, like the excellent chassis and suspension which gave near perfect handling on or off road. The fuel consumption was brilliant ranging from 60-90pmg and it was very reliable. However, after owning the bike for about two years I saw the weaknesses in the bike. The engine is gutless, plain and simple. Okay off road in slippy conditions where a gentler power delivery is required but on the road the bike is an asthmatic hair dryer. The seat is also very uncomfortable to the point of not being fit for purpose. Longer runs saw me sitting to the rear of the seat with outstretched arms where the seat is wider. The finish on the bike is also poor even with regular cleaning, falling victim to the British weather in only 18 months with rust, peeling paint from the frame and rotting clutch cables. Suzuki also wanted £37 for a clutch cable...
For gentle off roading and if you stand up alot it's a good bike, but that engine lets it down.
