Reply #1 - 09/21/26 at 04:31:29 These videos are nothing but AI generated fake news. The first one shows the engine can't decide if it is a single cylinder or V-Twin. Suzuki likely won't make a 650 single - the world market just isn't big enough to justify the cost of making one.

I would like that.

Reply #4 - 09/21/26 at 21:17:36 Well maybe Honda will bring their CB/GB 500 single , long stroke to us in a few years ... At least it's a REAL MACHINE . Till then I just got a new Rear Tire (#4) for the 350 Meteor , it turned over 29,000 miles on todays ride . So I'll be ridding the 650 for a few days while I make time to change tires .

So this is obviously not real, at one point they show it as a single and at another a twin cylinder. That said, why would they not bring it back, they have the tooling, they can update it and they can try to capitalize on the huge market of E-bike riders looking to move up. Is it fake, 100%, is it a fish to try and provide Suzuki with some sort of market feel, you judge.

Honda has parked a twin cyclinder 250 - 500 Rebel in the market for a long time. Looking for some feedback on that a new 650 street model would be is a no brainer for Suzuki.

It is obviously fake, but would you consider a new 650, S40 twin a viable option? We ride bikes from the Stone Age, and love them for that, but going forward an FI, 650 twin, I could get on board.

Hay , I've got a Belt Drive , 2023 , FI , 650 twin , air/oil cooled Royal Enfield Interceptor for my spare bike now , it take me back to the 1970's . I still like the Single better . Wink

..........................

Those two Suzuki LS 650's I had spoiled me to the feel of a Single . Wink

Now days I get by on a (bore/stroke) of (72x86mm) single 350cc Enfield (27Nm).
It's geared like the LS 650's but with less power but with FI and 80+ mpg. Staying off the Interstate is OK most of the time ... a 500cc would be the cure.

This with a 500cc piston would have me buying a new bike . Roll Eyes

There is something to be said for the big single, I love mine and ride them both often. I also have a big V-twin, a Honda Fury 1300 and here is the thing, the number of "street cruisers" seems to be a "passed fad", like the chopper craze of cable TV. Far more performance rides, cross-over and dual purpose are in the pipeline. Or the big road machines, full fairing, stereo, heat.

I was at my local Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha Dealer today, a good size showroom of everything but "cruisers". They have recently added Moto Guzzy, but only had a couple models in the showroom. A lot of duals, off road and dirt bikes.

The freedom a motorcyle provides to the soul on the open road, seems to have been replaced by the concept of, it must be an "adventure" or an "adrenaline rush" on a performance bike. Or did I just miss that all along.

But I digress, would I go out and buy a new Savage twin, probably not. But our little thumper has a history which might intrigue some young hipsters into buying a new version for some cred recognition from the LS/S40 past.

Myself a hardcore thumper enthusiast, it’s all about the big bore thump and that awesome exhaust note. I hate the sound of the newer parallel twins , really quite annoying. And those rev limiters , pretty sure they are actually IQ limiters. Sorry guys , ride a thumper , the true essence of motorcycling ! I think Honda already has a bunch of fish on the line with the CB/GB 500. I’ve been to the dealer , working him for some info , left my name & number and told him to call when I’m able to put a deposit down. I recognized the sales manager probably from another dealer , but I know him from somewhere. And yeah it’s all AI crap , don’t watch it and you won’t get sucked into believing it !

The CB 500 single is a real bike already in India .

The CB 500 is and oversized CB 350 Single. Europe has the 350cc version now but they call it the GB 350.

I don't think Honda will bring the GB 350 to us here in the USA , but ... They might bring the GB 500 to us here in the USA ? I hope they do , I believe the 500cc's Stroke is 90mm just like the 350's is.
