In a market crowded with bikes competing for the most horse-power and the highest level of complexity, Suzuki’s V-Stroms continue to offer a wonderfully easy-to-ride, ultra reliable adventure option.
The latest incarnations of the good ol’ DL650 and DL1000 – we actually don’t know if they’re still called that, but we like the memories that go with the model designations – are an interesting breed. There’s some nice new features for sure, but we congratulate Suzuki on having the common sense to keep everything that was so great about the bikes in the first place. The signature V-twin motor and comfortable riding position, combined with incredible reliability and ease of ownership, have earned the V-Stroms a legion of fans.
