==Description==
The DR-Z400SM is a Super Motard machine crafted from the DR-Z400S, a street-legal enduro bike. It retains the latter's proven engine—a liquid-cooled single-cylinder unit with dual overhead cams—and semi-double-cradle frame but also has front and rear suspension and brakes nearly equivalent to those on the RM motocrosser. To Super Motard riders, many of whom compete with tricked-out off-road bikes, the DR-Z400SM, with its generous use of Suzuki's state-of-the-art technology, was like a works machine.
The main frame is unchanged, but the change in wheel size from 21 inches in the front and 16 inches in the rear to 17 inches for both, and the shortening of suspension stroke from 11.3 inches front, 11.4 inches rear to 10.2 and 10.9 inches make for a lower, more forward-leaning riding position. In addition, the steering head angle was tightened up 1.5 degrees, to 26.25 degrees. The wheelbase is half an inch shorter and the seat three-quarters of an inch lower. Fork offset is optimised at the bracket end and the axle end, shortening the trail from 4.6 to 3.7 inches.
These dimensions leave no doubt that the DR-Z400SM has the potential to be a formidable Motard machine. The front brake is highly controllable and powerful, and despite the long front suspension travel, attitude change is completely controllable with the right brake lever. The compact chassis also works well with the 17-inch rims, for good manoeuvrability.
Although peaking at only 40 hp, the power generated by this offroad-toughened engine at low speeds is smooth, not choppy. The tenacious engine keeps revving up smoothly into the high r.p.m., where acceleration is still good.
The suspension gives plenty when the rider straddles the seat, for unexpectedly easy standing at red lights. With its ease of handling, this bike lets the rider enjoy stress-free street sport riding.
