2004 Suzuki V-Strom 650 (DL650) Review

2004 Suzuki V-Strom 650 (DL650)

Built for fun, ready for the adventure…

Based on the hugely successful DL1000 V-Strom, Suzuki proudly presents the 2004 Suzuki DL650 VStrom. With the best attributes of its big brother, the DL650 combines the versatility of the DL1000 in a middleweight package that delivers nimble on-road performance with highway comfort and range.

Even parked on its side stand, the V-Strom 650 looks ready for adventure touring. It comes with a sporty front fairing to deflect the wind and riding position is designed with comfort in mind. Seat height is set at a low 32.5 inches (825mm) and the saddle blends smoothly into the ample 5.8-gallon (22.5 liter) fuel tank. Wind protection for the V-Strom 650 is particularly unique. Designed to reduce turbulence for riders of all shapes and sizes, an adjustable windscreen covers a vertical range of 50mm and can be angled differently as its raised or lowered.

The DL650s compact instrument cluster includes: an analog speedometer and tachometer; digital LCD, odometer, tripmeter, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge; and LED neutral, turn signal and high beam indicator lights along with an oil pressure warning light.
