What is the top speed of the Suzuki DL650?
2 Answers
It is powered by a 645cc, V-twin liquid-cooled engine with a maximum output of 75 horsepower at 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 64 Nm at 8100 rpm. It comes with three-stage traction control (TC) and dual-channel ABS for both front and rear wheels. Exterior Design: The new Suzuki DL650 shares a similar appearance with the DL1000, featuring a very stylish and sporty design. As an ADV model, it retains the signature "beak" design and is equipped with a moderately sized windscreen. The seat adopts a one-piece design. Engine: The highlight of the Suzuki DL650 is its V-twin liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 645cc, delivering a maximum horsepower of 69 ps and a peak torque of 61 Nm. V-twin engines are relatively rare in adventure bikes, and this one offers exceptionally strong performance.
As a long-term rider of the Suzuki DL650, I've been riding this motorcycle for several years, with a top speed of around 196 km/h. On open highways, it easily reaches over 180 km/h, but hitting the peak requires full throttle in windless conditions. Wind resistance has a significant impact—at 190 km/h, it feels like you're being pushed hard, and the helmet shakes violently. The engine is a 645cc V-twin, packing plenty of power but also guzzling fuel, so I recommend testing it only on long straight roads. Safety is crucial; I often remind myself not to exceed 120 km/h to avoid longer braking distances and potential accidents. For daily riding, I prioritize comfort and fuel efficiency, keeping it around 80 km/h in the city for a smooth and economical ride. Regular maintenance of the chain and engine oil helps maintain performance for years. On long trips, while high speeds are thrilling, the risks outweigh the rewards—it's better to slow down and enjoy the scenery.
