Motorcycle specifications SuzukiDL 650 V-STROM XT 2022 In search of nice spots

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 makes all the difference 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 standards. 2021 imposes Euro 5, forcing Suzuki to make a few technical modifications. Watts are unaffected - in fact, power is boosted by the fact that maximum output is achieved earlier.
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.

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
