What the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 could do very well before, the new V-Strom 1000 and V-Strom 1000XT can also do very well: a well-balanced motorbike that does not shy away from sporty riding with good long-distance capability. In addition, there are now ultra-modern features such as lean angle ABS and Combined Brake System, which make riding even safer and faster. Suzuki takes criticism seriously, the windshield has been enlarged and, in keeping with the trend, the V-Strom 1000 now comes in a slightly more off-road XT version with wire-spoke wheels, which not only increase stability but also the cool look - especially with the golden rims of the yellow paintwork. Besides all these advantages, the low price remains the absolute killer argument for the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 / XT.
