Suzuki Motorcycle India showcased the new V-Strom 650 at the Auto Expo early this year. According to a fresh report, the middleweight adventure tourer will hit roads in August or September, 2018. To be imported as CKD (Completely Knocked Down) unit, the Suzuki V-Strom 650 will be put up against the Kawasaki Versys 650 that costs Rs 6.69 lakh (ex-shworoom).
