Something doesn't ring true, but hey-ho somebody will stump up £2000 for it as they're getting rarer
Makes me want to paint the frame on mine, now
DR350 1998, £1999. NO conection to me.

We buy things we don't need
With money we don't have
To impress people we don't even like

Is it just me, or is that headlight only lighting up the front fender? Looks about as useful as a chocolate fireguard :dry:

I loved my DR350S (early kickstart-only one).
But the paint was falling off the frame and exhaust when it went back for its 500-mile service. I was told that was normal for Suzukis!
Frankly, I was surprised...I used to sell Ducatis and Moto Guzzis in the 1970s and was always been told by the Saturday morning teethsuckers that the paint on them was rubbish compared to that on Japanese bikes.
Well, it was better than Suzuki's paint in the 1990s, for sure!

£2000 is way too much I wouldn't pay a penny over a grand for that! I paid £2000 for a 2005 BMW F650GS with panniers and 20k miles on the clock in vgc. They're just hoping someone particularly wants a dr350s.

Never a truer word, I had one of the first ones and the paint and chroming quality was dreadful. I never really bonded with it and part exed it for a Transalp (thumbs)Richard Simpson wrote:I loved my DR350S (early kickstart-only one).
