SUZUKI GSX-650F ABS (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, Suzuki launched the GSX-650F, a sport-touring motorcycle that was a more civilized version of the 600cc Gixxer, a bike whose engine derived from the supersport power plant but was tweaked differently to provide a smoother, more predictable feel in the urban clutter.

Still a fast and agile bike, the GSX-650F ABS smoked other traffic at fast hauls along the highway and city holes hot starts. However, the bike came with better ergonomics and improved riding comfort. Although engineered as a sporty all-rounder, it was only natural that riders could easily spend long hours in the saddle without being forced to ride in a too-racy position.

As standard, the bike featured ABS braking and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for smooth acceleration and more power output with lightweight and compact four-hole fuel injectors.

The 2013 Suzuki GSX-650F took its thrust from a 656cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed a power output of 86 hp at 10,500 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 10,500 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a wet weight of 245 kg (541 lbs), the bike registered a top speed of 211 kph (131 mph).

Visually, the bike was dressed in a stylish full fairing designed with cues from the GSX-R motorcycle with a sport-inspired look with full-fairing protection for the rider and a wide and comfortable seat with a low height for more comfort for the rider and passenger.
