Suzuki V-Strom 250 2017

Suzuki V-Strom 250 2017

It's always nice to see how much potential "small" motorbikes can have. The Suzuki V-Strom 250 is no exception. The first time you sit down, you immediately feel at home thanks to the comfortable seating position. Its in-line two-cylinder engine with 25 hp doesn't show off with power, of course, but it lets you flow comfortably with the traffic. Add a pannier system to the rear and you quickly have a lightweight touring enduro that is very easy to ride.
