New Suzuki V-Strom

With remarkable versatility, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 offers exceptional sport-touring performance. It’s designed for you to make the most of every mile, whether you’re winding your way over a mountain pass or out for a long weekend sport-touring.

Presenting a bike so revolutionary it opened the door on an entirely new motorcycle category: Sport Enduro Tourer. City road, open road, it has the cornering clearance of a sportsbike, the cruising capability of a tourer.

A powerplant based on the proven TL1000, a textbook example of advance design that houses a pulsing 90° V-twin. A performance package rich in refinements, the aluminium twin-spar frame is lighter than steel frames. An upright seating position ensures optimum visibility, the 22-litre fuel tank gives you the riding range of a touring machine.

Engineered to have no limits, this all-rounder lets you live the adventure in your mind.

Suzuki's V-Strom 1000, V-Strom 650 and V-Strom 650 ABS are the ultimate all-rounders, combining proven V-Twin performance with the practicality of a tourer.
The 2010 V-Strom range is now available, featuring bold new liveries and graphics for the popular models, among Suzuki'ss best-selling adventure tourers.
All three models combine trademark V-Twin grunt with the 'go anywhere' attitude and cruising capability of a tourer, fitted with an adjustable windscreen, upright riding position and large, 22-litre fuel tank.
With a 996cc, liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-Twin engine delivering strong power through its rev range, the 2010 model V-Strom 1000 has a striking new Black livery.
The ever-popular adventure tourer, the 654cc V-Strom 650 is now available in Black or Orange colour schemes, while the Anti-Lock Braking System-equipped V-Strom 650 ABS comes in Black or White.
