Suzuki XF650 Freewind

Aimed at the same niche created by the BMW F650 Funduro and head to head with Honda's 644cc Vigor, the Freewind is an 'urban trailbike.' For the confused, Suzuki's description translates as a road bike that only looks like a trailie.
So the Suzuki isn't truly dual purpose. Mountain roads are about as far off the beaten track as you'd want to go on a swoopy 644cc four-valve single with a plastic engine bashplate. Points that sell the 95mph Freewind are its adjustable seat - but check to see if your inside leg measures up - and SACS oil-plus-air cooling. The second oil pump and cooling circuit has been a feature of Suzukis since 1985, saving weight on water-cooled designs. That coolant rad is an oil cooler.
Strong mid-range torque and a sharp throttle response from twin Mikuni carbs give the Freewind an ability to slice through jams and cruise at 80mph. A headlamp fairing that blends into the tank diverts windblast from the rider, who sits upright. There's plenty of room for a passenger, a built-in rack and big disc brakes.
Freewind owners tend to be Captain Sensible types who like the poise, ground clearance and yards of suspension travel comfort that comes with a trail bike without wanting to get sweaty and mud-spattered. They are careful, low-mileage types who get bikes serviced on schedule or do it themselves.
And because the Freewind has sold so slowly you should be able to drive a hard bargain.
