2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS - Low Miles, Like New! Low Reserve

I love this bike, ut can't ride much anymore shuttling around a baby, 10 year-old, nd my golf clubs. I mostly used this to commute--amazing gas mileage at 60-70 mpg! Never taken on a long ride (though it would be great for that), lways garaged/covered. The right side of handlebar has a metal tip at the end of the grip, nd it's slightly bent from a standing tip over (see picture). No other damage or dings anywhere. Includes a heavy duty cover and a trunk for your helmet and anything else you need to carry. I'd like to sell this soon, nd you need a ride for the rest of the summer, o what are you waiting for?
The 2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS was built with the idea of being the "Comfortable Adventure Tourer." Thanks to across-the-board improvements done on the bike by Suzuk, ou could make a case that it’s become more than what it was being described to be.
Of the many new elements given to the 2012 model of the V-Strom 650 ABS, he most notable is arguably its new 645cc V-Twin engine that features broad torque delivery, ignature V-Twin power pulses, nd sporty quick-revving high rpm range power surges for full-range riding enjoyment. The V-Strom’s new engine also comes with a high-speed 32-bit ECU that controls Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system, ontributing to enhanced low-to-mid rpm range torque, linear throttle response and lower emissions for a bike that performs as well as it does. Joining the V-Strom 650’s impressive new powertrain is a six-speed transmission that’s been tailored for active sporty rides with a tighter 1st through 5th gear ratios.
Meanwhile, andling is also a key ingredient in the V-Strom 650 ABS concoction, eginning with a lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame and swingarm, ll of which contribute to smooth handling performance and excellent stability at high-speeds. The bike also features 5-way spring-preload-adjustable 43mm-telescopic front forks with 5.9" of travel working with a link-type rear suspension with 6.3" of wheel travel, tepless rebound damping adjuster, nd a 5-way spring preload adjuster that can be adjusted by simply turning a knob, llowing the rider to set the ride depending on his taste and preferences.

The V-Strom 650 ABS has a high-mounted stainless steel exhaust system with aluminum muffler that is tuned to enhance engine torque and low-to-midrange performance.
The V-Strom 650 ABS fuel injection system uses fine-atomization 10-hole fuel injectors for high combustion efficiency.
Twin iridium spark plugs for each cyclinder heighten the spark strength and combustion efficiency, ontributing to increased power, more linear throttle response, asier engine start-up and a more stable idle.
A radiator with a more compact core, lanked by wind-directing plates shaped with holes for enhancing cooling efficiency, irecting engine heat to flow out to the side air outlets and away from the rider’s legs. (*Patent pending.)
Suzuki-developed and patented Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control (TI-ISC) contributes to easy cold starting, table idle and lower emissions.
Lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame and swingarm contribute to smooth handling performance and excellent stability at high-speeds.
The V-Strom 650 ABS features 5-way spring-preload-adjustable 43mm-telescopic front forks with 5.9 inches of travel working with a link-type rear suspension with 6.3 inches of travel, tepless rebound damping adjuster and 5-way spring preload adjuster which can be increased or decreased by turning a knob providing a ride that suits the rider preference for comfort.
19-inch front and 17-inch rear radial tires specifically designed for the V-Strom 650 ABS.
