The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.

What the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 was already very good at before, the new V-Strom 1000 is also very good at: a well-balanced motorbike that does not shy away from a sporty riding style with good long-distance capability. Added to this are modern features such as ABS and Combined Brake System, which make riding even safer and faster. Suzuki takes criticism seriously, the windshield has been enlarged and, in line with the trend, the V-Strom 1000 is now also available 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 yellow paint. Besides all these advantages, the low price remains the absolute killer argument for the Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
