Bought the bike mid of February 2024, it's my long termer bike now. After sampling lots of bikes, I think the 650s combine light weight + adequate power for bikers who are not experienced with tall and heavy ADV bikes.
I will bring the Vstrom all over Malaysia and in the near future to Thailand too. Follow us on our insta page for more V-Stromy adventures.

Yes sir, 650 is the best balance between weight and power. We tend to always go for the big ones first, then regret 😂 especially once we drop the big ones.

I love my 2017 Vstrom 650, my first ADV bike (6 months after i learned how to ride in my 40s. 😅 Well, my father prohibited me to ride while growing up in KL because my grandfather was rear ended by a car in Perak.) Unlike Harley or European bikes, this bike is so realiable. Never had any issue. Low maintenance too (labor cost in USA is expensive! Oil change for BMW GS is almost >USD200. ) Yes, it is slightly top heavy, but i got used to it, and it becomes agile while in motion. Braking power is sufficient for me. I do wish for adjustable front suspension. Taunted by the ride height of 840mm at first. Also got used to it. Enjoy! 😄

Yes sir, it's a super reliable bike. Rode 4 Suzuki before. Never had any problems with them. Esp the vstrom 1000, was told that the local agent has never opened up the engine before despite some already getting on 300k km. The GS is the best in the segment but u do pay for it. It needs lots of attention to the maintenance just like a BMW car. But sometimes we just want an easy handling, problem free and relatively cheap bike to go riding and holidaying. The 650 is as light as can be imho. On paper it is only 20 lighter than the 1000 and 1200, but it feels way much lighter. The Africa Twin, Vstrom 1000 etc all feels so much heavier. There are cartridge kits for the front forks available for the vstrom 650. Makes them fully adjustable. I might look at them after 1-2 years of owning the bike. Now that I have gotten used to the height, I might increase the height as sometimes I get leg cramps as the knee is bend too much 🤣 I'm only 174 btw. Thanks

Spent yesterday on mine, 400+ Miles; it’s a ‘21 650 XT ADV, same color ;-) Also ride an RE Himalayan (1st gen), so consider the Strom ‘heavy’ ..and more powerful than I’ll ever need - even on US Interstates @ 80MPH. Solid choice!

Thanks, ya the 650 has all the speed we need in the real world and more. The Himalayan was one of my choice also but I kept reading about problems for the gen 2. 😅 anyway super happy with the 650😂 😂😂😂
