All-round revolution.
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.
