The BS6 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT looks exactly similar the old model. Though, it gets new decals on the fuel tank and the front beak fairing. The bike continues to come with the side reflectors, hazard lights, Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A40 tubeless tyres, premium anodised wire-spoke rims, Suzuki’s useful Easy Start System, a three-way, height-adjustable windscreen, ABS and three-level switchable traction control.
Sitting on the twin-spar alloy frame, the bike features the conventional telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock with rebound adjustment and remote preload adjuster at the rear. As mentioned above, the new Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT come with the BS6-compliant 645cc, V-twin engine that’s good enough for 71bhp and 62Nm.
