SUZUKI DL650SEA V-Strom 650 ABS Touring (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650SEA ABS Touring was not exactly a new model per se, but more of a special trim Suzuki offered riders in search of a bike that was ready to go past the state line right from the crate.

The 2009 650SEA model came with a few extra features as standard that were perfect for long-distance riders. Visually the bike received generous plastic side cases and a top case with a matching color of the bike and a black coat of paint to the frame and swingarm. The adjustable windscreen was also part of the deal and added extra comfort during long trips, as well as the slim and compact front fairing offering maximum wind protection.

The twin-spar frame and swingarm were made of lightweight aluminum, and the wheels were forged of lightweight cast aluminum in a three-spoke design. The curb weight of the bike was 236 kg (520 lbs).

In the engine department, the model had its heartbeat set by the 645cc V-Twin Liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 67 hp at 9,000 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque at 7,600 rpm.

In the suspension department, the model packed a preload-adjustable 43mm fork on the front for a comfortable ride under all riding conditions and a link type, coil spring, and oil-damped shock on the rear.
