Apart from modern hyper V-twin cruisers of up to 2 litres, this machine had the largest cylinder displacement of any motorcycle produced in 1988 when launched.
The DR Big was a factory mass-produced model of the DR-Z ridden by Gaston Rahier in the Paris-Dakar rally.
The SOHC Air/Oil cooled four-valve engine gave 52hp @ 6600 rpm, and a stump pulling 58nm of torque @ 4500 rpm.
One problem the DR750 Big has is a fuel tank that is designed around riders of a shorter stature, making the machine uncomfortable for long legged riders. This problem was addressed with a complete re-design for the replacement DR800 in its second year of production in 1991.
