Suzuki DL 650 vs DL 1000 race & acceleration

FB:   / vtoldschannel  
Suzuki V-Strom DL 1000 and Suzuki V-Strom DL 650 performance comparison.
Note that both of the V-Stroms present significant speedometer error so the actual speeds would in fact be lower than shown and the acceleration times would be a bit longer.

Still, it gives an adequate view on the real-life performance of the two, which has been a hot topic in the V-Strom owners society since Suzuki had launched the 650.

DL 1000 is equipped with K&N air filter and Two Brothers exhaust so it produces around 102 HP while the 650 - being stock - 67 HP.

Also, the head-to-head race and the accelerations have been performed in different places so the times are correct - the terrain was completely flat there.
