The 2023 DR-Z125L Suzuki Dual Sports Motorcycle ensures younger and smaller riders can take on the dirt. A front disc brake and large 19-inch front and 16-inch rear tires give the motorcycle big-bike performance for its size. With a five-speed gearbox and actual manual clutch, the DR-Z125L provides the ideal base for riders to develop these skills while progressing in motorcycling.
The DR-Z looks race-oriented and is designed to resemble Suzuki’s championship-winning RM-Z and RMX models. Its sharp handling and strong low- and mid-range power give it off-road bike agility that sets it apart from the competition. The 2023 DR-Z125L Suzuki Dual Sports Motorcycle’s race-ready appearance suggests that you shouldn’t guess from a book’s cover that it’s easy to ride with plenty of fun in the package.
