Built around Suzuki's allround motorcycle platform, the 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650X relies on a 645 cc (39.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 62.6 mm (3.2 x 2.5 inches).
On the scales, the V-Strom 650X measures 197 kg (434 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 1,555 mm (61.2 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.
