The Suzuki DR-Z400 is a dual-sport motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki beginning in 2000. It is powered by a single-cylinder, {{convert|398|cc|abbr=on}}, carbureted, liquid-cooled four-stroke engine.[http://www.dirtrider.com/reviews/dirt_bike/141_0305_kawasaki_klx400/index.html Kawasaki KLX400]

Kawasaki marketed a private labeled version of the DR-Z known as the KLX400 – it is nearly identical to the DR-Z400 except for bodywork and some accessories.

The DR-Z is used by the Australian Army and is slightly modified for the Army role.{{cite web |url=https://afmsafety.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/B120_Suzuki_DRZ400E_Data_Summary.pdf |title=Motorcycle, Patrol, Off Road, MC2, Suzuki DR-Z400E}}
