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!?!
