Hi Dave

For the last 5 months my girlfriend has been travelling on her Suzuki DR 200 (djebel) She has over 25 000 klms on it. No problems at all. The bike is loaded for touring. soft luggage. We have just travelled all of NZ and are presently finishing Australia. She will be riding this bike to Russia.

Autonomy of the bike is over 350 klms, but watch out for highway driving, it eats a lot of fuel. The bike is not really for the highway, but has no problem keeping up to speed, just expect the rpms to be very high.
You can open up the airbox, and exhaust to get a bit more power, but be realistic about your expectations.
Electric start is nice.

The bike goes well offroad, and has shamed my DR 600 on several occasions.

Enjoy
