Suzuki DR350SE
This bike was dropped from Suzuki's line-up four years ago following the introduction of the DR-Z400S, so you'll have to search the classified ads to find one. But the effort may well be worth it. The DR350SE is an excellent option for the beginning rider who wants a reliable, easy-to-use dual-sport bike with more performance than a 250-level machine but less weight and power than a 650. Its tall seat is a drawback. Yamaha's XT350 fits the same bill, with a lower seat height but without electric starting. Seat height: 35 inches.
