NUMBER ONE IN THE BUSH WORDS STUART WOODBURY PHOTOS NICK WOOD
Stuart is wearing a Shoei ADV helmet, Held Carese II jacket, Held Torno II pants, Held Sambia gloves and Sidi Crossfire 2 boots.
The DR650 is a quarter of a century old. It’s also cheap, it’s damn near bulletproof and the engine is substantially “over-engineered”. It is also simple to fix out in the middle of nowhere if something does happen to go wrong; only basic mechanical skills are required. But that’s not all when you look at the 2016 model. Instead of steak knives, Suzuki has fitted some more goodies to this tried, tested and much loved favourite for Aussie adventurers, which makes the $8090 plus on roads look like more of a steal than ever.
