Some bikes are just built better than others. The 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 650 is one of them. Aside
from the fact that it just looks like a great ride, this machine is wallet friendly, due to excellent fuel economy, and it is also adventure friendly. Popular Mechanics said it best when it wrote, "A terrific, easy-to-ride starter bike, yet it's got enough get-up-and-go to hold our interest."
Here are some stats:
Engine: 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90-degree V-Twin
Transmission: 6-speed
Energy: Suzuki Fuel Injection
Displacement: 645 cc
Suspension: 5-way spring-preload-adjustable 43mm-telescopic front forks
Handling: outstanding performance in low-to mid rpm range
The
V-Strom 650 is the younger sibling of the V-Strom 1000, both introduced
in the early 2000s. These bikes are built for roaming vast amounts of
space, courting adventure and solitude, and, well, allowing us to see a
country renowned for its roads and easy to access wilderness. This bike
is versatile, practical, and reliable—all the ingredients for a
fantastic ride.
But just because this bike is a
solid contender for trans-Africa journeys, it does not mean it won’t be
happy to circle the quiet bays of the Chesapeake on a summer afternoon,
or wind its way up the lazy hills in western Maryland. Stop on over to Pete's Cycle and check it out!
