For 2015, Suzuki has updated its smallest dual sport model, the DR200S. Curb weight is listed at 278 lb, fuel economy greater than 100 mpg (maybe riding downhill with a 50 mph following wind). The DR200S costs less than the Honda CRF250L, weighs less, and has a lower seat height. The DR200S is freeway legal, but that's not its best use. Better to be puttering along the back roads and trails. The DR200S bodywork is available in bumblebee yellow or all black.

Arrival of the 2015 models should cause the 2013 DR200SE to be available at reduced prices. The 2013 model has a less desirable fuel tank shape, but it has an even lower seat height.
