suzuki v-strom 1000

V-Strom 1000, Suzuki seeks to split the difference between big, heavy adventure bikes and the smaller ones its 650 competes with in the U.S. (your BMW F800GS, your Versys and KLR650 Kawasakis, your Triumph Tiger 800). The V-Strom offers up a tall (steel) handlebar, a thick, cushy seat and rubber-covered foot pegs right where you’d rest your slippers if you were home watching a Love Boat marathon. The 5.3-gallon fuel tank directs wind around your thighs, and the cool new three-position (and 30mm height-adjustable) ratcheting windshield pokes a large, quiet hole in the air: 6000 rpm and 100 mph works well on the A7 in a hurry back to Almeria, Spain, for cocktail hour at the end of a long day slaying curves.

For a bike with 6.3 inches of fork travel, it works okay for curve-slaying. The frame is all-new, with a longer swing arm and sportier rake and trail figures than before.
