🐗 Overview – Suzuki DR650: Colombia’s Favorite Dual-Sport
Used by Colombian police and beloved by adventurers worldwide, the Suzuki DR650 has earned legendary status. Australians call it the “Bush Pig,” others say it’s “the little tractor,” but everyone agrees—it’s one of the most capable and reliable dual-sport motorcycles on the planet.
Rugged, lightweight, and built for the backcountry, the DR650 isn’t about flashy tech or big-name branding—it’s about getting the job done. Whether you’re navigating twisty Andean roads or venturing deep into Colombia’s off-grid trails, this bike handles it all with confidence.
The 650cc single-cylinder engine delivers plenty of torque for mountain climbs and a surprisingly punchy top end for the pavement. Its stable chassis and nimble frame make it an ideal choice for riders of all skill levels, especially in Colombia’s mix of curves, dirt, and altitude.
With a 21” front tire, solid suspension, and no unnecessary electronics to fail, the DR650 is purpose-built for real adventure. It may lack a fuel gauge—but it makes up for it with bulletproof simplicity and off-road grit. For a true go-anywhere ride in Colombia, this is the bike to rent.
🏍️ Why Riders Love the Suzuki DR650
-
🪶 Lighter Weight = More Control & Safety
The DR650 weighs about 100+ lbs less than most BMW GS or KTM Adventure bikes. In Colombia’s steep mountain switchbacks, river crossings, or when dropping the bike on a muddy trail, that makes a massive difference — especially if you're solo.
-
🛠️ Simple
The DR650 has no ride modes, no traction control, no fragile sensors. Drop it in a river, and it’ll probably start back up. A KTM or BMW? You’re praying nothing shorted out or broke.
-
🌬️ Air-Cooled Engine = Zero Overheating
Colombia's jungle heat, high altitudes, and long climbs can overwhelm liquid-cooled bikes. The DR’s air-cooled enginedoesn’t rely on radiators or thermostats, which are known weak points on big KTMs especially.
-
🛞 More Versatile in Colombian Terrain - The 21” front wheel, lightweight frame, and long suspension travel mean it handles everything from cobblestone village roads to deep jungle ruts better than a bloated ADV bike.
-
💰 Lower Rental Costs - A DR650 costs far less than renting a BMW GS or KTM 790/890 in Medellin or Bogota.
-
😎 Proven by Locals - It’s the bike Colombian police use, and many local tour guides ride them daily. There’s a reason they don’t choose KTM 1290s.
🏍️ Looking for a Lighter, More Capable Bike?
Need something nimble for solo travel or city exploring — but still tough enough for serious off-road riding? The Suzuki DR650 is the smart choice for motorcycle rentals in Colombia. It’s lightweight, bulletproof, and comes adventure-ready with everything you need to tackle South America’s most challenging terrain. No ride modes. No sensors. Just a reliable machine built to go anywhere.

IS COLOMBIA SAFE?
It is now, things started improving in 2011 and last year, the country welcomed over 4.5 million foreign visitors. I’ve rented motorcycles to hundreds of clients and have never had an issue with security. Colombia is like anywhere else, be careful of pickpockets and theft in crowded places and you'll be fine.
Anthony Bourdain summed it up perfectly: "If you want to find bad people in Colombia, you can surely find them, as you could in New York or Los Angeles. But nowhere have my crew and I been treated better or with more kindness and generosity. I'd bring my family on vacation there in a heartbeat. And hope to soon. As I said before: Colombians are proud. Let them show you what they are proud of."
