A middle weight category motorcycle has a lot working for it. It is big enough, powerful enough and yet affordable enough. And that is why Japanese bike maker Suzuki is looking at this lucrative segment very seriously. Earlier this year they launched the GSX-S750 a naked sports bike and now they’ve got an out an out adventure tourer, the V-Strom 650 XT ABS. We spent an entire day with the new Suzuki V-storm around Jaipur testing it in varied road conditions. This included the fast highway towards Ajmer, the state highway towards Sambhar or the magnificent Sambhar lake itself. The bike runs on a 645 cc V-twin liquid cooled 70 bhp engine. It gets 2 levels of traction control which help in getting more grip in demanding situations. Shams Naqvi shares his ride experience.
