The '''[[Suzuki]] DR250S''' was a single cylinder, [[four-stroke]] Trail [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1982 and 1988. It could reach a top speed of 73 mph (117 km/h). Claimed [[horsepower]] was 16.63 HP (12.4 KW) @ 7800 RPM. 
==Overview==
[[Image:1985 dr250 2.jpg|thumb|300px|Picture of a 1985 Suzuki DR250]]
A 250cc [[enduro]] type dirt bike, the DR250 was made in both street legal and enduro models from 1982 till 1985 skipping 1984. A manual kick start on the right side of the bike shows its leanings more towards dirt bikes than street bikes. 5-speed manual transmission. The [[Suzuki]] DR-250 shares a nearly identical design with the [[Suzuki DR350|DR350]] aside from the piston size and related hardware, and as such, many people upgrade theirs with larger cylinders meant for the [[Suzuki DR350|DR350]]. There have also been [[big bore kit]]s which allow the stock cylinder to reach a larger size than 350cc. The oddly shaped headlight and small number plate are the bike's less attractive points, but the bike has adjustable front and rear suspension, which allows the owner to tune the bike for dirt, trail, or street riding.
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] single cylinder, four-stroke. A 72.0mm [[bore]] x 61.2mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 249.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 3.00-21 front [[tire]] and a 4.00-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The DR250S was fitted with a 2.51 Gallon (9.50 Liters) fuel tank.
