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

The release of the Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS EXP took place in 2015. It was a middleweight sport-tourer that offered an upright riding position and an EXP package ready for long journeys.

The model featured a slim and compact style, with vivid combinations of the painted sections and black resin components that pointed out the sporty look. It was available in Red, Blue, and Matt Grey.

The 2015 V-Strom EXP package was composed of two black aluminum side cases and a top case, a Vario vertically adjustable windscreen in three positions on a 50 mm range, an engine guard, side and underbody cowling, hand guards, and standard ABS. A few optional features included a center stand, a GPS mount, and heated grips.

No changes occurred to the power plant, and it remained powered by the 645cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine used from day one when the first V-Strom 650 model debuted in 2004. The model featured a high-mounted stainless steel exhaust system with an aluminum muffler tuned to enhance engine torque and low-to-midrange performance.

The aluminum frame and swingarm remained unchanged, with a 43 mm stanchion-tube spring-preload adjustable fork on the front side and a link-type suspension with rebound damping and spring preload adjuster on the rear.

The 19-inches front wheel and 17-inches rear wheel were made of cast aluminum alloy, which was not spongy enough for rough off-road conditions.
