V-STROM 650A
The trouble with adventure bikes getting bigger and bigger is that the adventure bit gets smaller and smaller. Which is why many real adventure riders regard Suzuki’s V-Strom 650 as the perfect adventure bike. Power and comfort to effortlessly transport you to the middle of nowhere, and light enough to confidently tackle the more adventurous stuff when you get there. Fuel-injected V-twin, ABS, switchable 3-mode traction control, and 12v DC outlet to charge your phone and power your sat nav.
Before you find yourself outside the Whangamomona pub asking for help to lift a behemoth up off the pavement, do yourself a favour and check out a V-Strom 650 at your nearest Suzuki dealer.
Available as full power or LAMS model.

Features
- Four-stroke, DOHC 645cc 90-degree V-twin engine.
