Hoo-aah! Who’s up for a good time with twins?
Suzuki’s V-Stroms, carrying the model designation ‘DL’, have been quiet achievers for a long time. The V-Strom 1000 first appeared in 2002, and straight away earned a legion of fans who loved the V-twin configuration, the Suzuki reliability and user-friendliness, and the incredible value. The 650 joined the lineup in 2004, and for some reason the big V-Strom was never as popular as its smaller, more agile stablemate. The off-road capabilities of both bikes were under-rated by the market in general, and, after a decade or so of excellent service, both were due for a freshen up.
