2017 Suzuki V Strom 650 Review, Jeff Ware

The Suzuki V-Strom 650 has been a top seller since it arrived back in 2004. It was updated in 2011 and has again been revised, now with over 60 changes to the engine along with new styling, ergonomics and traction control. At $11,990 + ORC AUD the V-Strom 650XT ABS is a bargain and a fantastic bike. Enjoy our review and thanks for watching! Jeff Ware

New Years resolution get a 650 vstrom xt metal sump guard arrow exhaust what else needs doing can’t wait

[@Stu650Zuk]

Still riding my first edition 650. I would love to trade in for this newer style and will eventually. Thing is my 06 with 47,000 miles with good maintenance and a few upgrades still functions perfectly. They really are a bike that 90% of riders would be very happy with..Just to stubborn to try sonething different..lol

Got a 2021 650 XT and its a great all round bike. Its like the DR400Z of adventure bikes , not exceptional in any one area but good in all areas.

[@billyrock8305]

Arguably the worlds best motorcycle. Great video mate! :)

[@reksubbn3961]

Great review! How does the 650 go 2 up?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Hi there, I didn't get to test that but it looks comfy.

[@dry509]

This vs mt-07 (not sure if there is a tracer 700 in the states)?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

The regular MT-07 is a sportier and smaller naked, so if you wanted a machine more in the nakedbike category it'll be the clear winner. The V-Strom is ideal for more adventure/touring type riding and will win out in that situation. If you're just happy on two wheels, then it comes down to which feels best for you, or which has the styling you like the most.
