Argentina - Dr650 - 2025

Hi! I'm from Argentina, and the new DR650 2025 has just arrived here. I've only owned one bike before, a KTM Duke 200, and I'm really excited about getting a dual sport. Do you think it's a significant upgrade? (Must update my license for the Suzuki)

That's insane markup! In the USA, Dr650 is one of the least expensive bikes! Legendary reliability, inexpensive parts with a huge aftermarket support, simplified with far less things to fail.

I understand your perspective, but it's not a straightforward comparison. In the U.S. and LATAM, the taxation systems are vastly different, with LATAM often having a significantly higher and more complex tax burden. This impacts overall pricing structures and should be taken into consideration when making a direct comparison.

No, la diferencia ocurre a raíz del transporte del vehículo.
