There's good reason
middleweight off-road bikes are so popular.
They offer abundant power combined with
lightweight handling - and the DR-Z250
sets the standard for the class. Grab
a handful of throttle and you'll be rewarded
with hard-charging performance across
the powerband. And when the trail gets
nasty, you can count on the DR-Z250's
long-travel suspension for a plush ride.
The DR-Z250
for 2005 - where four-stroke power meets
lightweight handling.
