2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 Adventure[edit | edit source]
The V-Strom 650 Adventure introduces a more sober attire for the bike, even though it's rather hard to have "cast wheels" and "adventure" in the same sentence. The windscreen is height-adjustable and offers increased protection during long hauls. The bike comes with aluminum panniers and a road freeze LED indicator, and ABS brakes for extra peace of mind. Whether for longer road trips or daily commuting, this middleweight bike will deliver as promised. And with Suzuki adding the latest upgrades to the bike, the V-Strom also sports a better radiator, easier cold starting, and improved low-to-mid range performance.
