Apesar de a nova V-Strom 1050 ter subido de preço para um campeonato em que tem de ser comparada mais com a concorrência do que antes, manteve-se fiel a si própria, apesar das mais modernas características de segurança, ou melhor, manteve-se uma moto descomplicada que está pronta para a grande viagem. O seu terreno preferido é a estrada, que, graças ao bom chassis, também pode ser má e acidentada. As passagens fora de estrada também não são problema, mas aqueles que procuram regularmente terrenos mais acidentados terão menos probabilidades de acabar com a Suzuki devido ao seu grande peso. Em estradas pavimentadas, no entanto, a massa pode ser movida surpreendentemente rapidamente e sem esforço. O motor viciante, o design retro bem sucedido e a extrema adequação para passeios fazem da Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT uma moto de topo para longas viagens.
