2025 V-Strom 650XT Adventure

The six-speed transmission suits sporty rides with tight first through fifth gear ratios and a tall top gear (sixth gear) for highway cruising.

The multi-plate clutch has precise push rod actuation of the pressure plate for a light lever pull and a consistent release point.

A low-maintenance, long-life, sealed O-ring drive chain is standard.

Adventure features include a handlebar cross-brace that is an excellent foundation to mount accessories like a GPS, plus mirror extensions so a rider sees less of themself, and more of what is behind the motorcycle.

The V-Strom 650XT Adventure also comes with a rugged accessory bar, hand guards, and a protective lower engine cowl.

The lightweight, rigid twin-spar aluminum frame and swingarm contribute to smooth handling performance and help provide excellent stability.

Spoke-style wheels, with gold-anodized aluminum rims laced with stainless steel spokes, absorb shock from irregular road surfaces well and accept tubeless tires.

LCD readouts include an odometer, dual tripmeter, traction control modes, gear position, coolant and ambient air temperature, fuel consumption, fuel gauge, and a clock. Switching between readings can be done with the left handlebar switch.

The V-Strom 650XT Adventure is equipped with Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control System*, which lets the rider control the throttle with more confidence in various riding conditions. It continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle opening, engine speed, and the selected transmission gear to adjust engine output if wheel spin is detected.

Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature seamlessly adjusts engine speed during takeoff and low-speed riding to smooth the power delivery. It also helps reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.

This V-Strom also features the Suzuki Easy Start System, which lets the rider start the motorcycle with a momentary press of the start button without pulling in the clutch lever when the transmission is in neutral.

The beak-style fairing, with vertically stacked headlights and a stronger internal structure, helps the V-Strom 650XT Adventure cut through the wind, protecting the rider in style.

The three-way height-adjustable windscreen was wind tunnel-tested to reduce wind sounds, buffeting, and rider fatigue.

The lightweight resin luggage rack incorporates easy-to-grasp grab bars and aligns with the passenger section of the seat, offering a larger surface for carrying cargo or luggage.

The fuel tank has a generous 5.3-gallon capacity but is shaped to be thin at the rear to flow into the slimmer seat, helping the rider’s feet touch the ground at stops.

The aluminum side cases fitted to the V-Strom 650XT Adventure, and the matching accessory top case from Suzuki Genuine Accessories, use a sturdy lock and latch system with a unique style key that does not match the motorcycle’s ignition key.

Suzuki 12-month limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).

Suzuki Genuine Accessories for the V-Strom 650XT Adventure include a matching top case, center-stand, auxiliary lights, low- and high-profile seats, heated grips, high-grip footrests, fuel-cap mount tank bags, and more.
