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

The 2015 V-Strom 650 ABS SE carried on the heritage of a middleweight sport-tourer that went the extra mile and has been a trustworthy city slicer. The front panel has been redesigned to direct more airflow to the radiator through wind-directing plates for more efficient heat management.

The V-Strom 650 ABS SE combined a lively v-twin engine with a sport-mannered character and excellent riding comfort for a pleasant ride. It featured black resin body panels, not only for good looks but there were more durable than the older plastic ones.

Among other features that were released with the 2012 model, the 2015 SE version added to its accessories red-stitched leather-look sections and suede-look, slip-resistant surfaces, and an embossed logo. A rear top case baseplate accommodated the accessory luggage system and incorporated the passenger grab rails.

The 2015 SE model was 8 kg (18 lbs) lighter than the 2011 model part of the weight loss came from the fuel tank that was reduced in fuel capacity and the lightweight and compact ABS module.

The SE was packing a set of cast aluminum wheels in a three-spoke design shod with Bridgestone Trail Wing tires.

The engine is the same 645cc liquid-cooled power plant as on the previous models, with changed cam profiles that improved the low-mid range rpm in power and torque and a 6-speed transmission with a well-behaved response across the rev range.
