presentation of the DL 650 V-STROM XT 2020
The Suzuki 650 V-Strom XT is certainly the one that best meets the public's expectations of a medium-displacement trail bike. You'll see, there are just a few extra features... but that's what changes everything and makes you say: "Oh yeah . That's what I'm into! ". So, what's so special about this XT?!
a more adventurous spirit. All it needs is a pair of spoked rims and an engine mount, and it's ready to take on the world. While the wheels are better able to handle the hazards of a trail, the hoof is more artificial. Sure, it enhances the V-Strom's belly, but its plastic design will hold up far less well than an aluminum component.
A pair of handguards, a must-have on a mountain and valley trail, round out the XT's equipment. This costs an extra 3 kilos.
evolving in tandem with the standard V-Strom 650, the XT benefits from the same evolutions. Its lines are entirely based on those of the 1000, giving it a punchy silhouette that's well worth appreciating. The 645 cm3 twin produces 71 hp, two more than before, after a significant update to comply with Euro4.

Delivered as is, the 650 V-Strom XT still leaves something to be desired. The center stand, even more so than on the standard version, should come as standard.
Once underway, the machine is ready to take on roads of all kinds, with an aplomb that makes it hard to go unnoticed.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 18 reviews
Because of this, I didn't even want to try it out once I had the A2 in my pocket... But after a lot of insistence, I was finally convinced, so I went for it.
Big mistake: in less than half an hour, this bike made me forget all the others I'd tried. Suspension or seat, the comfort is royal, and the engine is just excellent, with torque present very early on and allowing efficient riding without having to rev it up. On the A2, only motorway journeys will make you regret a slight lack of power. As soon as you get back on the secondary network, you'll have no trouble keeping up with much more powerful bikes. The chassis is ultra-sound and considerate, and there are never any nasty surprises, even on rough roads. Speed bumps don't even make me slow down any more, it's almost become a game. The loaded duo rides well, with the passenger snugly tucked between the suitcases and against the backrest of the top case. Only the installation is sometimes tricky, but there's a trick: let the SDS go up first.
Now that I've got the bridge, I'm thinking of changing... But I know I'll miss it. Instead, I'm going to unbolt it and take advantage of those extra watts, which will give me more ease on my rare motorway passages. Really, try it: behind the handlebars, you can't tell it's ugly anymore. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nico31
This bike is pleasant to ride, easy to maintain, although the under-tank cylinder is a bit rough, the engine is solid I've ridden 26,000km with the same Oil on an experimental basis no major degradation the clutch is the original one the transmission original chain has been at 40,000km wheel bearings to be checked every 30-40,000 km the bulbs once burnt out the crossings the valve clearance is controlled by me-i'm within the manufacturer's valve clearances, except for the rear cylinder exhaust, which was 1/100 too much at the last check. No oil consumption, the piston rings are ok and no cooling water consumption, but beware of the clamp on the water hose, which is a little worn and creates a leak. Brake fluid changed after 4 years, no corrosion, no moisture. This bike is built to last: 90% on the road, 10% on the highway Rating : 4/5 Respond to Médéric
I've added the following accessories: - touring bubble with deflector - heated grips - 48l Shad top case The pros: - very smooth engine - very forgiving - comfort worthy of a 15 k€ bike - a bike from 10 km/h The cons: - very intrusive ABS - weight and center of gravity when maneuvering at a standstill - low beam bulb (2 bulbs per year) I think it's a very good bike for beginners, especially if the need is to ride on the road. Rating : 3/5 Respond to Guillaume83
Immediate grip
It's a sharp Swiss Army knife
Very smooth, peachy engine
At ease on any rolling surface (it's not an off-roader). Very maneuverable, comfortable, good bubble protection, economical on torque (often less than 4 l/100) with very good range, well suspended, lighting appears
The only fault I can find with it is the ABS, which can give you a few scares under emergency braking, but it's a good reminder to be careful
For that, I'd take away 1 star. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Woody (Woodpecker)
It weighs just under 220 kg fully equipped. You can go on vacation with two 46l GIVI suitcases and a 50l top case. Fuel consumption: 3.9 l/100 km with the lady, 4.5 on her own (I can't imagine why). The engine is smooth, picking up at 2000rpm and climbing nicely right up to the breaker
A model that costs very little in insurance and can't be stolen. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Michel
900 XR coming out in February 2020,I'll follow your advice for the 650 XT. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Goues
purchased in June, already 9000kms and very pleasant to ride. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Gege
