    Visually, the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT BS6 looks the same as the BS4-compliant version. Expect the BS6-compliant bike to witness a slight change in its power and torque figures compared to the BS4 model. To give you a better perspective, the BS4-compliant V-Strom 650 XT makes 71PS at 8800rpm and 62.3Nm of torque at 6500rpm from its 645cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine. The powerplant is aided by electronic nannies like a three-level switchable traction control and a dual-channel ABS. 

    For optimum off-road dynamics, it rides on 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear spoke wheels shod with Bridgestone Battlax dual-purpose tubeless tyres. The bike also gets capable underpinnings like a 43mm telescopic front fork with 150mm of travel and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Brakes include twin discs up front and a disc at the rear. 

    When launched, it will be Suzuki’s first BS6-compliant big bike in India. It will be sold via the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route and will rival the upcoming Kawasaki Versys 650 BS6. After this, Suzuki is also likely to launch the SV650 in India as its heart is based on the V-Strom 650 XT. However, in the retro-modern naked, this engine is tuned differently to suit its character.
