DR650S
The DR650S's 644cc air/oil-cooled single is the most enduring dual-sport platform in the segment — carbureted, simple, and parts-abundant after more than 30 years of minimal engineering changes. At 366 lbs and a 34.8-inch seat, it rewards riders who want a workhorse they can fix themselves over one with modern electronics.
