Suzuki V-Strom 650 2011

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2011

A very well-equipped Suzuki, the likes of which you don't see every day. From the extensively integrated electronics to the pleasant riding experience, you basically have everything you need for motorcycling.

Relatively low overall weight

pleasant sound

positive ergonomics and seat comfort

strong, well-controllable brakes

ABS

well equipped.

The engine does tend to slow down with a passenger on long journeys.

Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.

Sporty performance like all MT-09

3 riding modes

ABS and traction control as standard

taut chassis, plenty of lean angle clearance

Wind protection not optimal

seat could be more comfortable

handlebars too wide for the city
