The 1995 DR800S Big is the same 779 cc, 54 hp big single as the 1993-94 bike, with a 300 mm front disc and 24 litre tank. The source calls the DR800 the largest mass-production single-cylinder motorcycle of its time and describes it as tough, fast and fun, comparing it with the Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenere. It has a long-travel trail chassis aimed at long-distance riding.
