2010 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom 650 ABS Australia[edit | edit source]
This V-Strom 650 ABS version is dedicated to the Australian riders, and comes with a distinctive color and graphics scheme. Frankly, it's too bad the engine is not blacked out as well, to match the awesome looks of the cast wheels, frame and final section of the exhaust line. The bike does not come with any special features to make it stand from the crowd.
Riders get the same reliability and sporty feeling from the 645cc 90-degree v-twin, with smooth suspensions which can effortlessly do light gravel in style, improved weather protection from the adjustable windshield and excellent luggage capabilities with third-party travel accessories.
