At the heart of the 2005 Suzuki V-Strom 650 allround motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 645 cc (39.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 62.6 mm (3.2 x 2.5 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the V-Strom 650 measures 190 kg (419 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,540 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
