V-Strom 650

[Invisible]

Is there anybody hear something about V-Strom 650?

I heard something about it, dealer told me something like "Suzuki plans to produce 650 VStrom and they will use Sv 650's engine, so it will have 2 cylinders" etc etc..

I have only that info.. I plan to buy an enduro 650 and it is important for me to know if there will be a 650 v-strom or not...

Thanks by now...

It's confirmed, there will be a 650 version out in September (at least here in Europe, I don't know about anywhere else) I read it in MCN (the British weekly bike paper) and they're usually quite correct.

hmmmm it'd be a nice bike for my wife.....something to think about

I heard the same.. September would be nice..
Would it be the right decision to start riding bike?

:) Is it a fake photo? Probably. But I think the real one will be similar...

Looks like a SV650 frame so yes it probably is fake. But I'd buy it.

Here's some more that I found on another site...

Suzuki are ready to launch a 650cc version of their DL1000 V-Strom adventure tourer. Based closely on the DL1000, it comes as no real surprise that this "baby" V-Strom would follow its big brother. The V twin engined SV range has been a major hit for the factory and they see this as another way of expanding the market for mid-sized mounts such as these.
Although the 1000 V-Strom has failed to make an impact in Britian, the Europeans have taken the bike to heart, especially in Germany. It is this that has prompted Suzuki to go ahead and build this smaller version. The only other bike that can be compared to the 650 V-Strom is Hondas TransAlp (also 650cc) which is quite long in the tooth now.

At least that one has the 03 SV650 frame so probably more likely real.
