If you're looking for adventure, here are the machines to help you find it - the V-Strom 650 and its predecessor Freewind. Both bikes are multipurpose ones, designed for smooth, comfortable performance on the road and short off-road getaways. In addition, they have extra-large fuel tanks for extended riding. They're equally at home around town, thanks to their low seat height, light weight and overall crisp handling. And the V-Strom's V-twin engine adds excitement to every ride, offering a wide powerband and strong acceleration in every gear.
What really sets the V-Strom apart from other street bikes, of course, is its unmatched versatility. Its lightweight, agile handling inspires confidence, while its smooth suspension front and rear performs exceptionally well in almost any situation. Nevertheless, Freewind is not far behind in any riding aspect.
