SUZUKI GSX-650F ABS (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, Suzuki released the GSX-650F ABS, a middleweight outright sports street bike that boasted some of the coolest features of the top-drawer Gixxers but was a more tamed machine better suited for the city. The 2011 GSX-650F was a motorcycle built on the acclaimed heritage of the supersport GSX but delivered a whole new experience.

The fuel-injected model offered an ideal balance of sportbike excitement with an all-around versatile performance, which proved that sports bikes were not necessarily one-dimensional, topped by an increased safety level with ABS braking.

The bike packed a double cradle steel frame that provided crisp handling and unmatched comfort with a full fairing with styling cues borrowed from the high-performance GSX-R series for a sport-inspired look. Added to the overall comfort, the bike packed a wide seat with low seat height and a compact fuel tank designed for easy reach to the handlebar.

In the power department, the engine featured a SUZUKI Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection with four-hole injectors for smooth acceleration, Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coated cylinders, and a large capacity exhaust system with a high-capacity oxygen sensor for EURO3 regulation purposes while still provided strong performance.

The 656cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered a power output of 86 hp at 10,500 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) of torque at 10,500 rpm. Combined with a wet weight of 245 kg (5411 lbs) and a six-speed manual transmission, the 2011 Suzuki GSX-650F ABS registered a top speed of 211 kph (131 mph).
