Suzuki DL 650 V-STROM 2006

Menus

When Suzuki embarked on the big road trail, it did not design the benchmark, of course, but a very nice machine and a bit sporty. But where the manufacturer will be very strong, it is by offering us this little devil of 650 V-strom. Identical to 1000, its appearance does not change. Lower in the saddle, it should allow easier handling. The suspension travel has dropped sharply: the machine thus goes down by 20mm. The pilot will be delighted with the adjustable screen (manually), the wide saddle, and especially the mill which is none other than that of the SV 650. A reference! On the DL 650, its camshafts are modified, the air box is bigger, and the moving parts are heavier; all this to improve the power curve in low and mid-range. Knowing the particularly pleasant and playful behavior of the twin, we salivate in advance! The passenger will not be bad either with the welcoming saddle, handles and well-designed footrests, as well as a practical and accessible adjustment by knob of the rear shock absorber. The new dashboard is very complete – moreover, its big brother will borrow it for 2004,SUZUKI DL 650 V-STROM just like his windshield. Here is a formidable competitor for the Honda Transalp, especially since the Suzuki trail should provide 15 hp more than its rival. The frame of the small V-strom is similar to that of the large one: an aluminum perimeter, and with the pneumatic mounting also identical (110 front and 150 rear), the imp should be particularly agile and efficient. Quick, let me get one…!

On the technical sheet, the machine is less impressive than its big sister. It reassures apprentice backpackers but seen in front of you and not on glossy paper, the DL 650 is still my tough guy. The small dose of apprehension of that moment will vanish in 30 sec. Light and welcoming, the machine is as agile as a BMX. The saddle, which is lower and more refined than on the 1000, is greatly appreciated by the average builders during red light stops. The praise has never dried up on the little Suzuki twin, and it won’t stop with this trail. The flexibility remains impressive until 4th and much more usable than the 1000 until 6th. The new distribution has somewhat removed its angry side in high revs … to offer more gniak in the means. At the small game of driving coiled in the mountainous virolos, the DL 650 is sumptuous. We can open without restraint, the twin resumes low, then tows with enthusiasm. Thanks to the gentleness of the engine-box-controls team, we never fight; we benefit donf. Especially since the road holding is excellent, even prodigious for a trail – this is where the bat hurts: the suspensions favor efficiency over comfort, especially as the lowering of the height at the withers ofSUZUKI DL 650 V-STROM the machine decreases the travel of said suspensions. More or less annoying depending on your back and the state of the road, but if you want to play a little … Too bad also that the hand guards of the 1000 have disappeared. It protects from the cold, and branches if you take roads that are a little forgotten. The brakes are identical to the big sister but more effective without being aggressive. That’s good: we’re piloting a trail, not a GSX-R (which would certainly be less partying)! Venturing out for long stages is exciting. First, the philosophy of the DL invites it, then, with a protective fork crown, an adjustable screen (you have to take out the tools – but no competitor of this size offers), a GT autonomy and dormant vibrations, we are going to cut the road. Cocktails like that, we would like more often.
