Road version and XT
Thankfully!welperz, we got the shaft: no shaft.
What? Really? Its a completely new bike except for the frame and swingers. Engine the same but some very nice enhancements. Other than that EVERYTHING has changed. And I think it's a great looking bike. Hope to have the first one that hits my area.I just saw an article on the new for 17 Strom's. The 650 is very similar to the 2016, which is very similar to the 2011; that is to say, its still the same bike.
Exactly! Jeeze.Just to paraphrase your message: except for the wheels, headlights, dash, traction control, upgraded ABS, more power, starting assist, take off assist, gas tank, luggage rack, and instrument panel its basically the same as the 2016?

Good post and some solid gains but they have meet Yamaha's price performance challengeWhew, now that’s positive change. But, speaking of change – aside from the mill, the second best thing about the Wee Strom has been the price. Much pivots on that one feature, I hope Suzuki doesn’t ruin it for us who love a deal!
Does anyone know how Suzuki implements this Easy Start System on the SV650? The SV650 motor is the baseline / source motor for the 2017 650 Wee.... Suzuki Easy Start System, which fires up the engine with just a quick press of the starter button.
