Roadster 650 (2001-2004) review
Take a proven Suzuki engine, pop it in an unadventurous naked style frame and push it out the door. Short of remarkable

Tried and tested technology
Cons
The Sachs name doesn't excite -and nor does this bike
Suzuki is doing a fair bit of trade hawking its old air-cooled DR650 lump around the World. Sachs has wrapped this traditional roadster frame around it
