There's a 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 2006 - where four-stroke power meets lightweight handling.
