This two-cylinder machine is convincing through its function and less through its emotions. As king of the Alps and everyday horse. The good thing about the large range of used items: You can’t really go wrong.

The interested parties are well informed. Actually very good. A used dealer explains: “For many other machines there are surprise buyers, those who spontaneously get involved with an unknown model. It’s different with the V-Strom 650, as the customer knows.” What to Know: This Suzuki is ultra reliable. It is comfortable and fully suitable for long distances. It offers enough space for tours for two, suitcases also fit well, the 22-liter tank and low fuel thirst give you an enormous range. Perhaps modest on paper, but 67 HP is enough for this machine, which weighs just over four hundred pounds, to handle any driving situation with ease. Especially since between 4000 and 7000 rpm the post really goes off and the brakes are easy to dose. Phenomenal.

And what many already know: She won the MOTORRAD Alpenmaster test, an extremely demanding event test for motorcycles. The 650 series has also been available with ABS since 2007, which has increased its popularity even further, with the result that Suzuki withdrew the larger 1000 series sister from the market a year later. Why not, because the “Small” As an almost perfect all-rounder, it is recommended for all possible types of rider – from beginners (34 hp version) to savvy frequent riders who are looking for a sensible alternative to significantly more expensive travel enduros à la BMW GS or to sports tourers such as a Honda VFR. The second-hand prices have remained fair despite the success, but it is always worthwhile to get detailed information.

The height of the disc is adjustable and is particularly useful on fast motorway stretches.

They do exist, the unkempt. Those who stood outside and were chased across salted streets in winter. Such V-currents 650 are drawn, especially on the metallic surfaces, which are not exactly of the highest quality. But such somewhat less attractive specimens are rare and offer prospective buyers who are not bothered by the appearance, good chances of lowering the price. Because there is a unanimous opinion about the technology and reliability in all workshops that have ever had a V-Strom 650 in their care: no stress, no defects, the motorcycle works absolutely trouble-free with regular maintenance. So what more do you want besides perfect wearing parts or new tires? Accesories. Suitcases, main stands, a high windshield or protective bars are gimmicks that are well received by V-Stromers who love to travel and should be considered positively in the price.

Market situation

Not exactly nice: the giant exhaust. Retrofitting (complete system) is complicated, so most owners prefer to stick with the original.

The demand is “gigantic”, at least say some of the dealers questioned. Higher than the offer, the prices are still moderate. Since the 650er often collects a lot of kilometers (over 50,000) on travel and in everyday life within a few years, the price claims for copies with clearly visible signs of use start at less than 3000 euros. Well-maintained machines with a mileage of around 25,000 kilometers start at 3500 euros, and ABS models (built in 2007 or later) are around 500 euros more expensive. From 5000 euros, however, the air becomes very thin for providers, especially for private ones, because some dealers are already squandering new demonstrators for 6000 euros, last year’s new vehicles are even available from 6500 euros. And for the newcomers, the supply is greater than the demand. Conclusion: The price window for used V-Strom 650 is small – it is worthwhile to carefully examine each offer for its value (maintenance condition, accessories, etc.).
