presentation of the XF 650 FREEWIND 2001

it's often those who do the most that get the least attention. The Freewind is one of those motorcycles that doesn't arouse the passion of the crowds, but is packed with versatility and can take you anywhere. Slightly revamped in 2000, the main changes concern the upper fairing, new Hayabusa-inspired optics and a new rear shock absorber spring. This brings a little extra lighting (already very good) and a little extra comfort to the suspension.
The advantage of a trail bike is that it's high enough to climb a curb without a second thought. This often results in a high saddle, but Freewind has thought of everyone: a "low saddle" modification is available from the dealer. In the city, riding the bike allows you to appreciate it at its best. The mono is at ease, honored by a beautiful suppleness and not devoid of character. There's nothing exceptional about its power, but all you have to do is screw on the throttle and its 47 grunts will express their vigor. That's the magic of mono. Open the throttle and off it goes! Braking is in keeping with the bike's philosophy: safe, easy and not brutal. And it's nice to note that the bike doesn't dive excessively like most trails.

as long as you keep to legal speeds, protection is sufficient. Above that, you'll need a little more courage or simply a high bubble. Take it seriously, though, because the bike's comfort makes you want to travel. And the excellent range will convince you. The instrument panel is fully digital, making the absence of a watch all the more striking. Extremely agile, light and road-hugging, you'll want to take it out on the open road. As for tires, however, Suzuki could have chosen a better original equipment fitment. A center stand is available as an option, and the overall price isn't too scary. Admittedly, it's not a thunderbolt, protection is limited and less than 50 hp may seem "fair". But with the Freewind, you can do a lot... Find me a bike that's as comfortable and fun to ride around Paris as it is to tour Corsica!?!

Very good machine, light, simple, reliable, perfect for road trips. Pleasant mono fishing, can easily keep up with more modern machines on bends. I'm not about to change it... Rating : 5/5

French rene Model 2000
I bought a second-hand one 13 years later, this time as a second bike (zzr600 as 1st bike). I had to relearn how to get into the right gear for city and highway riding. However, flexibility isn't bad (good carb synchro essential). I still have to adjust the position and the amorto, but it's already a pleasure. Driveability is very good, if not really powerful. And it kicks in straight away, making for occasional sporty sequences, aided by a lightweight chassis that's hard to criticize. Its simplicity is just as pleasing, unlike heavy electronic bikes. You know you'll go anywhere, and that's for sure. Nothing will stand in your way. Even a few unavoidable highway stretches can't dampen the good mood this bike exudes. There are a few vibrations, but nothing to worry about when you're lucky enough to have such a good air (and oil) mono between your legs. You'll just have to make sure you follow the recommended maintenance schedule, and don't let it run at full load for too long (like on the freeway at over 135kmh, which is almost an exact speedometer). Rating : 5/5

It's the best and the most beautiful. Rating : 4/5

super moto, c\'est vrai qu\'elle fait un peu \"has been" par rapport aux dernières petites nouvelles, maiquel plaisir de rouler :)
this summer she's taking me to Corsica :) my mechanic told me she was the Queen of Corsica :)
 Rating : 5/5
French rene Model 2003
A very good bike, both fun and versatile, better than the current basic NC700x, except that the Freewind consumes a little more fuel, especially on freeways at sustained speed. Otherwise, with a high bubble, it's amazing how versatile it can be, aided by an exemplary and well-braked chassis, and a delightful single-cylinder engine. It's a bike I've come to regret. Rating : 5/5
French rene Model 2000
Another excellent summary that aptly describes this super bike that I bought new in 2000 (2nd version). It too is one of the best bikes I've ever owned. Today I have a honda NC700x which reminds me a lot of the Freewind which already had an exemplary chassis; lightness (more than the current honda), manoeuvrability, agility, stability, good braking, good shock absorber (better than the honda), modernity (nice and readable digital panel) and quality of finish (dashboard, nice alu hoof and carrier, good seat etc...). The engine was very pleasant, with good suppleness for a mono as it says, a pleasing liveliness and not too many vibrations. On the other hand, it tends to consume a lot of fuel at high speeds (6.5l), even with a high bubble, so it's more at home in town and on roads, even rough ones, where the bike excels. A great traveler on the backroads, a lively motorcycle with all the essential qualities. The only time the engine (and therefore the bike) will struggle is on long, fast freeway stretches. Rating : 5/5
