THE SAYING, “ALL GOOD things must come to an end” is certainly one that everyone will be dreading with the end of an era for the venerable Suzuki DR650. Yep, that bull of adventure riding will be discontinued pretty much as of now.

Suzuki Australia did try to get as many units as possible from the factory, but just about all of them are sold. If you do want to grab one, I urge you to hunt around as best you can and don’t just stick to your local Suzuki dealer (unless they’ve got one, of course!).
