neonsurge Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) It's the old Suzuki DR350 engine, not the DR-Z (the "400" name is a bit misleading). It's a trials/trail hybrid along the lines of the GasGas Pampera (there's a 2-stroke 200cc version as well). Popular with vertically-challenged trail riders and often used for long-distance trials!

one-dab-or-two Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Nice looking bike. Wonder if its small enough for me though (exceedingly vertically challenged.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Good looking bike. Interesting that it has knobbies instead of trials tires, considering the low front fender and trials influence otherwise. BTW, the 200cc version of the Alp is also a 4-stroke Suzuki engine, and not 2-stroke as stated earlier. If you go back a few model years, the Alp did have a 2-stroke 250cc Beta motor.
