2011 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS

If you’re looking for adventure, the V-Strom 650 ABS is the machine to help you find it. The 650cc V-twin is a favorite of motorcycle journalists. It combines versatile performance with exciting middleweight agility— an ideal combination of lightweight agility and crisp handling. The V-Strom 650 ABS invites you to carve up canyon roads or ride the open highway in all-day comfort. And it’s available with the added safety and piece of mind of Suzuki’s Antilock Braking System (ABS).

What really sets the V-Strom apart from other street bikes, of course, is its unmatched versatility. Its lightweight, agile handling inspires confidence, while its smooth suspension front and rear performs exceptionally well in almost any situation. In addition, it has an extra-large fuel tank for extended riding. It’s equally at home around town, thanks to its low seat height, light weight and overall crisp handling. And the V-Strom’s V-twin engine adds excitement to every ride, offering a wide powerband and strong acceleration in every gear.

It’s time to get in on the adventure—with the 2011 Suzuki V-Strom 650.

New for 2011: In addition to black, the 2011 V-Strom 650 ABS will be available in a new Pearl Mirage White finish.
