Total consideration has been given to the rider in the creation of this versatile, ‘go anywhere’ Sport Enduro Tourer. From its relaxed riding position to its wind-deflecting adjustable windscreen. From its long travel suspension with easy access hydraulic rear spring preload to the long range 22-litre fuel tank. The proven V-twin powerplant with SDTV fuel injection delivers smooth throttle response and class-leading torque across a broad rpm range.

If you want a machine with the versatility to let you ride through city streets, over outback roads and through snaking mountain passes, the V-Strom 650 is for you.

Suzuki’s V-Strom 1000, V-Strom 650 and V-Strom 650 ABS are the ultimate all-rounders, combining proven V-Twin performance with the practicality of a tourer.
The 2010 V-Strom range is now available, featuring bold new liveries and graphics for the popular models, among Suzuki’ss best-selling adventure tourers.
All three models combine trademark V-Twin grunt with the ‘go anywhere’ attitude and cruising capability of a tourer, fitted with an adjustable windscreen, upright riding position and large, 22-litre fuel tank.

With a 996cc, liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-Twin engine delivering strong power through its rev range, the 2010 model V-Strom 1000 has a striking new Black livery.
The ever-popular adventure tourer, the 654cc V-Strom 650 is now available in Black or Orange colour schemes, while the Anti-Lock Braking System-equipped V-Strom 650 ABS comes in Black or White.
