SUZUKI DR650

If I will ever get to ride from Alaska to Chile, or Germany to Mongolia, (both trips still on my bucket list), this would most likely be the model I would choose (while riding on my own in Costa Rica I always tend to take a smaller bike). The single cylinder 650cc engine has a powerful torque across all revs, while the bike being still versatile, narrow and fairly light (especially when comparing it to bikes like the KLR650 or GS650). Perfect bike for: very big guys, couple with luggage and the ambitious off-road rider.
