Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2020

In 2020, the V-Strom was improved in a number of ways. The look now fits the great motorbike better and also exudes more attention to detail. The heart of the bike, the engine, is still just as much fun as before. A great power unit! It doesn't overtax, but provides a lot of riding pleasure! It is suitable for everyday use, but also offers a lot of charisma!

Great V2 engine that is completely convincing in practice

good wind protection

pleasant seating comfort

great long-distance capability.

Deficits in the equipment - some details from the XT are unfortunately missed
