2008 Suzuki DR200E[edit | edit source]
The DR200E is a bike which was sold in the US alone, but it doesn't differ too much from the rest of the siblings in this family. You get a do-it-all bike which is a glorious commuter, but which will also provide a lot of good-paced fun off the road. Small, compact and tough as nails, this bike is good for beginning riders as it can be fun for more experienced ones, especially if one is looking for an economical commuter.
The air-cooled 199cc single is mated to a 5-speed transmission which provides all the needed grunt for both city slicing and trail wrestling. If simple, easy to maintain and affordable bikes are your thing, you might just love the 2007 MY DR200E.
