SUZUKI GSX-650F ABS (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, Suzuki released the GSX-650F ABS, a sport touring motorcycle that in essence, was an updated Bandit that filled the void left by the retired Katana. The GSX-650F recipe proved to be a successful one as the bike offered a mixture of cool looks, power, and comfortable seating position with precise handling and plenty of usable power on tap, but also based on the GSX-R family, which retained certain design cues.

One of the key features of the 2015 GSX was the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that enhanced the safety of the bike with two floating 310 mm discs and four-piston calipers on the front and a 240 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.

The double steel cradle frame provided excellent balance with unmatched comfort and crisp handling, while the wide one-piece seat increased rider and passenger comfort with the handlebar rubber-mounted for fewer vibrations.

The 656cc engine featured Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection with lightweight and compact four-hole injectors that offered smooth acceleration and more output power. To meet the EURO3 regulations, the bike featured a large-capacity exhaust system with a high-capacity catalyzer and an oxygen sensor while still offered strong performance throughout the rpm range.

The 2015 GSX-650F ABS motorcycle with its four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 86 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a wet weight of 245 kg (541 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 211 kph (131 mph).
