The 2008 GSX650F is Suzuki's brand new motobike that features a supreme balance of sportbike excitement and all-around versatile performance. It presents crisp handling, so you can turn any winding road into a ride to remember. Its liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine is tuned for strong low-end and midrange power, for smooth and easy riding around town. Whether you're on the back roads or the open highway, you'll appreciate the ultimate GSX650F's comfortable design, including a more upright seating position that makes all-day rides a pleasure. And the new GSX650F has one more feature that you'll appreciate - a price tag that will leave you smiling.

The Suzuki GSX650F performs all new full fairing design with styling cues taken from the high performance GSX-R series for a sport-inspired look with full fairing protection for the rider. A compact fuel tank was designed for an easy reach to the handlebar with a narrow mid section while still retaining a full 5.0 gallons or fuel capacity. Whether you’re on the back roads or on the open highway, you’ll appreciate the GSX650F’s comfortable design, including a more upright seating position that makes all-day rides a pleasure.

All new, compact, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, DOHC 656cc engine utilizing a bore and stroke of 65.5 mm x 48.7 mm and featuring strong and easily accessible power and torque.

This bike is focused mostly on beginners so it needed a very smooth acceleration. To achieve that, the engineers from Suzuki equipped the bike with Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection system. Fuel injectors are compact and lightweight with 4-hole injectors for optimum fuel atomization and greater power output. Cam profiles are chosen with an emphasis on low-to-mid range power output and help to deliver highly accessible performance that is well suited to an entry level rider, so Suzuki focused on the safety of the rider when creating the GSX650F.

Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coated cylinders deliver high heat dissipation and allow for smaller piston to cylinder clearance and together with the piston rings which are manufactured with ion plating treatment using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for a smoother surface, increases durability and reduces friction and oil consumption.

The latest groundbreaking GSX650F keeps cool with a high efficiency radiator combined with a 190mm electric cooling fan controlled by the ECM and a high output water pump with a bearing-less design for reduced weight.
Suzuki set up on this bike a very smooth new six speed transmission with a hydraulic clutch for crisp shifting in a variety of riding conditions.
