Just as we were heading off to print Suzuki released some details and images of its new 776cc parallel-twin ’Strom. You read it right. It’s a parallel twin.

Adventure Rider Magazine is a huge fan of the V-Strom.

We admit we’ve always preferred the 650, but the 1050 shook our resolve a bit, and we were left amazed at how good the ABS and traction control were on that model.

Still, the 650 will always be a favourite.

But now there’s an 800! That’s about the ideal size for a distance tourer we reckon. And the V-Strom’s history of low-cost ownership, high reliability and surprising versatility is unarguable.
