Overview
The Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure is an adventure motorcycle from the V-Strom family, produced from 2009 to 2018. The 2018 model uses a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 645 cm³ V-Twin four-stroke producing 69 hp (51 kW) at 8,800 rpm and 60 Nm at 6,400 rpm; its wet weight is 214 kg.
Peak torque arrives below peak power, so the engine's strongest pull comes before it reaches its power peak. The 835 mm seat is tall, while the 214 kg wet weight can take effort to manage at low speeds. Its 20.1 L tank provides fuel capacity for longer rides, and the saddlebags provide space to carry luggage. ABS supports controlled braking, while 237 mm of front and 125 mm of rear wheel travel help the suspension absorb uneven surfaces.

Pros and cons
Advantages
ABS braking
ABS on the double front discs and single rear disc can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking.
Saddlebags
The saddlebags give riders a built-in way to carry luggage.
Long front suspension travel
The 237 mm of front wheel travel helps the front suspension deal with rough surfaces.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 835 mm, the seat can make it harder for shorter riders to put their feet down securely.
Weight at low speed
The 214 kg wet weight can make parking and slow-speed maneuvering more demanding.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
