2018 Auto Expo saw the unveiling of Suzuki V-strom 650. The V-Strom 650 will represent Suzuki in the middle-weight Adventure touring category. It won’t be long that we will get to see the V-Strom 650 zipping through Indian highways. As the reports suggest, the launch might be just around the corner.
Reports suggest that dealers have already started taking bookings of the motorcycle for a token amount of INR 50,000. The V-Strom 650 is powered by a 645 cc V-Twin engine which churns out 71 bhp @ 8800 rpm and 66 nm of torque at 6500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6 speed transmission. Another highlights of the engine are that it comes with twin overhead camshafts, electronic fuel injection and liquid-cooling.
Suzuki has equipped the small V-Strom with essential electronics such as riding modes, traction control and ABS. To suit the touring needs of the targeted customers, Suzuki has thrown in a 12-volt power outlet as well. The wheels’ dimension also makes the adventure quotient of the bike strong as it comes with a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel.
The cherry on the top will be the pricing. The V-Strom 650 will become Suzuki’s third model which will come via CKD route. Currently, the GSXS-750 and the Hayabusa are the models which come via CKD route. The reason behind their aggressive pricing. We can expect Suzuki to launch the bike between 7.7 lakh and 7.9 lakh rupees. Once it gets launched, it is going to pose a serious threat to the Kawasaki Versys 650.
