Auto Expo 2020: Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT BS6 Model Unveiled

The updated Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT BS6 model has been showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, along with the BS6 models of its entry-level Gixxer series, the 155 cc Suzuki Gixxer and the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. In terms of features, the updated Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT carries over the same design, cycle parts, as well as instrument panel as the outgoing 2019 model. What seems to have changed are the body graphics on the front part of the bike, particularly the beak, as well as on the fuel tank.

The instrument console remains the same, as do the ergonomics on the BS6 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT

The updated middleweight adventure motorcycle, the V-Strom 650 XT, will now meet the upcoming Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission regulations, although Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) has not shared if there are any changes in the power and torque output of the BS6 V-Strom 650 XT. The engine continues to be the 645 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled motor, which has been updated to meet the new emission regulations. For reference, the outgoing BS4 model of the V-Strom 650 XT puts out 70 bhp of maximum power at 8,800 rpm and 62 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm.

Updated engine is expected to be cleaner, and meet the new BS6 emission regulations

The instrument panel seems to be the same part digital, part analogue unit used on the outgoing BS4 model, and everything else, from the mirrors, windshielf, handlebar, suspension, wheels and tyres continue to remain the same as before. In terms of rider aids, you get a three-level traction control system, which can be turned off, as well as ABS, which cannot be turned off. The current Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT is priced at Rs. 7.46 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The updated BS6 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT is expected to get marginally more expensive.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
