Suzuki Dl650 V-strom

The Suzuki Dl650 V-strom has a top speed of 195 km/h, produces 71 hp and weighs 216 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.

La Suzuki V-Strom 650 (DL650) se presentó en 2004 como una motocicleta de turismo aventurero de media cilindrada, inspirándose en el estilo de la legendaria DR Big de finales de la década de 1980. En 2012 llegó una importante segunda generación con una ergonomía, un control de tracción y un estilo mejorados, a los que siguieron otras mejoras en 2017 y 2020, como el ABS, la electrónica actualizada y la variante XT con ruedas de radios, centrada en la aventura. Sigue siendo uno de los vehículos de turismo de aventura de tamaño mediano más vendidos y respetados del mundo, y es elogiado por su equilibrio entre versatilidad, confiabilidad y asequibilidad.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Bulletproof V-Twin Engine

The 645cc V-twin engine is widely regarded as one of the most reliable adventure bike motors ever made, with many owners reporting 60,000+ miles with only routine maintenance. It shares DNA with the legendary TL1000 engine, tuned for low-end torque and longevity.

⚠️

Watch the Throttle Bodies

On pre-2012 models, the throttle bodies can develop sync issues causing rough idling or hesitation, so always ask for service records showing periodic throttle body synchronization. It's a cheap fix but commonly neglected by previous owners.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The V-Strom 650 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and a loyal owner community, making it one of the safer used adventure bike purchases. Its low cost of ownership and wide parts availability further protect your investment.

8.4/10

"La bicicleta poco glamurosa que dura más que todo lo demás."

Recorrí 40 000 km con una DL650 de 2007 y nunca me dejó varado, ni en los Alpes, ni en los Balcanes, ni en un camino de tierra a las afueras de Sarajevo. La bicilíndrica en V arranca limpiamente a partir de 3000 rpm y su curva de par es tan indulgente que casi te enseña a ser un mejor piloto; deja de preocuparte y conduce. La protección contra el viento es mediocre sin una pantalla más alta y el asiento de serie se vuelve salvaje después de unos 200 km, por lo que debes tener en cuenta ambos de forma inmediata. La falta de ABS en estas primeras bicicletas es lo único que realmente me molesta en retrospectiva: en el asfalto mojado de Eslovenia es una conversación real con el freno delantero.

Pros

+La fiabilidad del motor roza lo legendario
+Par a bajas revoluciones realmente utilizable en cualquier lugar
+Ligero para un ADV de 215 kg

Lo mejor para
Commuters wanting reliable, affordable adventure touring capability

"The unglamorous Swiss Army knife that never, ever lets you down."

$3,500-$6,500 used

The DL650 is probably the most sensible used bike purchase you can make right now, and I mean that as a genuine compliment. Suzuki's 645cc V-twin is genuinely bulletproof — these things run to 60,000 miles with nothing but chain and oil changes if you're not stupid about it. The 2012-2016 generation sweet spot hits the perfect balance of features without the complexity of newer ride-by-wire systems. Budget for new tires immediately because previous owners always run them to the cords. The riding position suits almost every body type, fuel range is genuinely impressive at 200-plus miles per tank, and parts are cheap because there are millions of them. Don't be scared off by high mileage here — 40,000 miles means nothing on these motors. Check the throttle bodies for synchronization issues and inspect the subframe for cracks if it's been dropped, which most have. It's not exciting. It will never make you look cool at a café. But it'll get you home every single time, carry your luggage, and you won't cry when it tips over in a gravel car park.
