Aquilo em que a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 já era muito boa antes, a nova V-Strom 1000 também é muito boa: uma moto bem equilibrada que não se esquiva a um estilo de condução desportivo com boa capacidade para longas distâncias. A isto juntam-se características modernas como o ABS e o Combined Brake System, que tornam a condução ainda mais segura e rápida. A Suzuki leva as críticas a sério, o para-brisas foi aumentado e, em linha com a tendência, a V-Strom 1000 está agora também disponível numa versão XT ligeiramente mais off-road com jantes de raios de arame, que não só aumentam a estabilidade como também o aspeto fresco - especialmente com a pintura amarela. Para além de todas estas vantagens, o preço baixo continua a ser o argumento decisivo para a Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
