The 2013 V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure was a smaller version of the DL1000, which debuted in 2002. As its name suggests, the motorcycle was best suited for those riders who dig for two-wheel adventure. The bike came equipped with a list of features that gave the bike a versatile and practical character.
In 2013 Suzuki released the suffixed Adventure model, a fully loaded version of the 650 ABS. The bike received some worthy extra features, such as sleek aluminum side cases that can accommodate a full-face helmet, strong crash bars, and an adjustable windscreen that allows the rider to tailor the aerodynamics according to the riding scenario and speed. The Adventure pack also came with a Vario touring screen, knuckle cover set, under cowling set, accessory bar, tank protector, center stand, chain guard, and a top case.
Nothing changed on the tech side compared to the base model. The bike features an aluminum twin-spar frame and swingarm with revised suspension and cast aluminum wheels.
The model carries the same 645cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that first debuted on the 1999 Suzuki SV650, then updated in 2007 with dual sparkplug heads for better performance and fewer emissions.
The V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure was the same worthy machine that rode on any road, with a small exception for the rough off-road terrain.
