The 2026 Suzuki DR650S continues to be the best all-around, dual-purpose motorcycle available today. Always an outstanding performance value, every DR650S features a dependable, 644cc, oil-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine carried in a strong steel, semi-double cradle frame.
Strong aluminum, spoke-style rims carrying tires that can manage the street or dirt are fitted so riders can tackle pavement or trails with ease. A variety of riders can enjoy this motorcycle, thanks to a seat height that can be significantly reduced (using the optional Short Side Stand Kit from Suzuki Genuine Accessories). Whatever riding adventure you plan to undertake, the 2026 Suzuki DR650S is your willing partner.
Features may include:
Key Features
- A true DualSport, the DR650S is ready to cruise around town, up the highway, or down your favorite trail. Engineered into the suspension is the ability to lower the seat height* (Suzuki dealers can perform using an accessory side stand kit).
- The compact and powerful, 644cc, SOHC, four-stroke, air- and oil-cooled engine features the Suzuki Advanced Cooling System (SACS). Piston-jet cooling and an oil cooler help create consistent performance in a variety of conditions. With an emphasis on low- to mid-rpm range power, a gear-driven balancer shaft minimizes engine vibration.
- The multi-plate clutch has precise push rod actuation for a light lever pull and a consistent release point. A smooth-shifting five-speed transmission is complemented by a sealed O-ring drive chain.
- A lightweight, semi-double cradle steel frame delivers agile handling on- and off-road. An innovative, height-adjustable* fork and link-type rear suspension with a piggyback style, aluminum-body shock absorber provide a smooth and controlled ride.

- The engine is tuned with an emphasis on performance in the low- to mid-rpm range, while a gear-driven balancer shaft minimizes vibration for a comfortable ride.

Transmission
- The multi-plate clutch has precise push rod actuation of the pressure plate for a light lever pull and a consistent release point.
- A smooth-shifting five-speed transmission is complemented by a sealed O-ring drive chain.
Chassis
- A lightweight, compact, rigid, semi-double cradle frame provides agile handling on- and off-road.
- Front and rear suspensions provide generous 260 mm (10.2-inch) wheel travel for superb performance over rough terrain.
- Height-adjustable* front fork provides smooth and progressive action. Large diameter, thin-walled tubes reduce unsprung weight, while maintaining high rigidity. A link-type rear suspension with a piggyback style, aluminum-body shock absorber provides stable performance.
- The front brake uses a lightweight 290mm (11.4-inch) stainless steel floating-disc with a two-piston caliper that is complemented by a 240mm (9.4-inch) rear disc with a two-piston brake caliper.
Electrical
- DR650S is powered by a lightweight and compact, low-maintenance battery.
- A convenient electric starter (supplemented with a zero-maintenance automatic decompression system) provides easy, quick starting.
- Digitally mapped DC-CDI ignition system provides accurate spark timing for efficient combustion.
- A fully equipped lighting system comes with a bright 60/55-watt halogen headlight.
Body & Styling
- With Solid Black and Solid Gray bodywork with contrasting black and orange graphics, or bright Solid Special White bodywork that features distinctive blue and black graphics, the DR650S looks good when ridden on any surface.
- A long, comfortable seat, aluminum footpegs, and grab handles allow the rider to carry a passenger with ease.
Additional
- Seat height may be lowered by 40 mm (1.6 inches) using a Suzuki Genuine Accessory kit. The kit includes a shorter side stand to match the chassis height adjustment. Other Suzuki Genuine Accessories include a cargo rack and skid pan, and a selection of Suzuki apparel is available.
