SUZUKI V-Strom 650X (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2004, Suzuki introduced a new family of motorcycles, a smaller, lighter version of the V-Strom 1000. The V-Strom 650 was marketed as a sport-tourer motorcycle with an engine first tried by the 1999 Suzuki SV650.

In 2009, Suzuki released five models of the V-Strom 650, among which the 650X. The 2009 650X model, a non-ABS version, came to complete the range with a few changes compared to the previous model.

The 650X combines the versatile performance of the DL1000 with middleweight agility and comes equipped with engine bars, an alloy skid plate, hand guards, a black sports screen, and a Candy Max Orange color scheme.

In other departments, the model remained unchanged with the same black-finished frame and swingarm, the three-spoke cast aluminum wheels with a black-finished paint, and the same power plant used on its predecessors.

Suzuki V-Strom 650X takes its power from a 645cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine used on the V-Strom motorcycles since the first day in 2004, with an output of 67 hp at 9,000 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque on the low-mid range at 7,600 rpm.

The 650X stopping power was given by two 310 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 260 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.
