Honda CRF450RL vs. Suzuki DR-Z4S | The Ultimate Dual-Sport Showdown! 🏍️💨
The ultimate battle from the Land of the Rising Sun is here. For over two decades, the legendary Suzuki DR-Z400 ruled the budget dual-sport world with stubborn simplicity. But the wait is finally over. The old DR-Z is gone, replaced by the all-new, tech-packed 2025 Suzuki DR-Z4S.
To see if Suzuki’s new weapon can conquer the category, we pit it back-to-back against the reigning king of Japanese high-performance dual-sports: the Honda CRF450RL.
We took both machines out of the dyno room and straight into the elements, strafing rocky mountain trails, fast two-trackers, and asphalt connectors. On paper, their mission is identical: street-legal, dirt-capable, and Japanese reliability. In reality, these two bikes couldn't be more different. One wants to attack the trail at race pace; the other wants to comfortably take you anywhere without the drama.
