Used 2006 Suzuki V-Strom 650 Dual Sport Motorcycle

2006 SUZUKI V-Strom 650, For Adventure touring on a budget it's hard to beat the wee-strom 650, a very solid and reliable bike that also makes a great commuter or canyon carver with its SV650 derived v-twin powerplant and neutral upright riding position. This bike's main competition in this size and price range is the Kawasaki KLR650, and comparing the two the Strom is a better bike on the road and the KLR a better bike off pavement. So if you're leaning toward doing mostly pavement with the occasional trip into the wilderness, this is your bike. This '06 in red has seen some use but it has been maintained, and features a complete set of Givi Monokey hard cases for carrying all your gear….hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, whatever. For under $3k in this market, this is a great grab!

If you're looking for adventure, here's the machine to help you find it – the V-Strom 650. It combines the versatile performance of the V-Strom 1000 with exciting middleweight agility.

With its height-adjustable aerodynamic windshield and spacious riding position, the V-Strom 650 is designed for smooth, comfortable performance on the highway. In addition, it has an extra-large fuel tank for extended riding. It's equally at home around town, thanks to its 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.
