Suzuki Tempter 650 Motorcycle - Street (1983-1984)

The Suzuki GR650 Tempter, sold in the US market for the 1983 and 1984 model years, was a distinctive standard motorcycle. It featured a four-stroke, air-cooled, DOHC parallel twin engine with a 651 cc displacement, producing 50 horsepower and 61 Nm of torque. A unique aspect of its design was a two-stage flywheel system, which used a centrifugal clutch to disengage a secondary flywheel above 3,000 rpm. This innovation aimed to provide easier take-off at low RPMs with a heavier flywheel and improved responsiveness at higher RPMs with a lighter flywheel, enhancing both low-speed tractability and high-speed performance. For the 1983 and 1984 model years, there were no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes for the Suzuki Tempter 650. The core engine design, including its innovative two-stage flywheel, remained consistent. The primary differences between these model years were limited to trim levels. The GR650-X offered traditional spoked wheels, a single-color paint scheme, and non-adjustable front forks, while the GR650-D featured mag-style wheels, a two-tone paint scheme, and upgraded adjustable front air forks.
