SUZUKI V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure was yet another trim offered by the bike maker for the base model. The 2015 Adventure package included two aluminum side cases and crash bars mounted on each side of the bike.

The adventure bike retains all characteristics of previous models with a slim front fairing designed for maximum wind protection and an adjustable touring windscreen. The front fender was designed with small plates that directed the airflow to the radiator for more efficient cooling. In 2012 Suzuki replaced the plastic body panels with new black resin panels that were more durable and visually better looking.

The 2015 Adventure engine was running smoother and quieter due to its 2012 updates of changing the cam profiles for a better low-mid range in power and torque and other internal changes that reduced the mechanical noise. The model had a high-mounted stainless steel exhaust system with an aluminum muffler tuned to enhance the engine performance.

Most of the chassis, including the frame, swingarm, brakes, and wheels, were carried over from the previous models. The 19-inches front and 17-inches rear wheels were made of cast aluminum alloy, and despite the suffixed name of the bike, it was not the best choice to “adventure” on rough off-road terrains.

The 2015 model was for sale in 2022 starting from $10,000.
