Adventure bike, yes. "Entry level" adventure bike? No. Perfect all around adventure bike? Yes, for sure.

Appreciate sharing it! I think it is all the blame on that water you rode through on the exit. I drive rwd car and whenever I leave car wash, there is almost no grip.. Have to be extra careful and still traction control is going crazy like driving on the snow.. Such thing as TC on the bike would have saved you. I don't think new tires would have changed anything in this situation. Very nice bike though!

I'm picking up a 2009 model with low km this weekend. Getting back into riding after a 20 years hiatus and really looking forward riding around the NSW Far South Coast. Thanks for your review, it helped me make the decision to go with this bike.

I agree I've had mine since 2014 and definitely just love it,, I'm trying to remember if anyone knows I would appreciate it but there is a set of brake shoes that all automotive shops have that will fit on a 2013 to 2017 or something VStrom,, I bought a set about 6 years ago but I cannot remember what I ordered, and I live in the southeast of Kentucky and the nearest Suzuki shop is probably $150 mi away,, anyhow if anyone reads this and knows I would appreciate the info

Gen 1 is best 🙂 specifically the pre ABS 650. 18 years on it still did a 3000 mile tour through 7 countries including Switzerland Austria and Germany this year. footage is on my channel if you are interested 🙂 theres a 15 year owners review and more DL650 vids all over the channel 🙂 good luck with the channel fellow #Stromtrekkers #RideFree

Just one more point that I've forgotten to mention is that here in the UK there are hundreds of GS's, Africa twins all kitted out for the long way round, Charlie Borman and his mate, but never go anywhere. I'm not knocking them at all, it's the look of the bike they're going for. Cheers again.

@robwilkguitar4458 Ай бұрын

My son owned a 2013 same model same as yours and he regularly achieved seventy miles to the imperial gallon, that's near enough four point five litres. (UK) Brilliant bike so I've just bought one two weeks ago fresh out of the box and I'm achieving sixty eight point six miles to the gallon. I've now covered three hundred and Forty miles so it's not yet run in so I reckon it should remain around the same once it's loosened up. Great bike enjoying the journey. Agree with all you've said.

@ralphcantrell3214 Ай бұрын

The only “problem” I’ve ever encountered with my DL650 is a tendency to roll off the side stand and fall over. In 52 years as an avid motorcyclist owning scores of bikes, I can remember that happening maybe twice. But it has happened 4 times to my V-Strom in its 25k miles - once to the PO, and 3 times to me. It is something to do with the geometry of the side stand. I am very experienced and careful about this, always leaving it in gear etc, and it just keeps happening. I’ve never seen a bike so quick to “jump” off its side stand. That’s it though. I wouldn’t trade it for any other bike in its category.

@ralphcantrell3214 Ай бұрын

To put it into proper perspective, my 2013 DL650 Adventure model makes around 68 horsepower. My first street bike, a 1971 Kawasaki 500 Mach III 2-stroke Triple made only 60, and nobody ever accused that bike of being slow. Furthermore, the ‘Strom does it pretty much all through the rev range, where the Kawasaki made its peak HP only in a very narrow band in the upper rev range. I love my ‘Strom, and I do not want for more power.

@ralphcantrell3214 Ай бұрын

Love my gen 2 Adventure model. Been riding for 52 years and had around 40 bikes, and it is easily my favorite “bike for the money” of all time. It is a top two or three under any circumstance. I have an SV650 too, just for good measure. That Suzuki 645cc V-twin engine is pure magic.

@FlyNoWorkL8R Ай бұрын

What an amazing camera you got. Can't think of any mc tyber that beats that. Done both svc's manuals for the V-Strom and the sv 650. The V-Strom is much easier to read and for me to comprend. I will seach for a V-Strom between 2015-2017 with a milage between 24k to 31k. T😃hanks to you it's no brainer :)

@murraycharters6102 Ай бұрын

@FlyNoWorkL8R. Don’t stress too much about the amount of km the bike has done. More important to go for a bike that has been well looked after and maintained. If the bike has been well maintained and serviced, the bike will run forever with no problems Very important to have a service history, for example I change my oil every 6,000 km. Also important to know if the valve clearances have been checked and are in specification. I checked my 2017 model Strom at 54,00 km. I changed 7 out of the 8 valve shims to get it into the middle of the specification. Changing valve shims is a BIG job but very important. I did my own work, but I think it would cost over $1,000 if a dealer changed the shims. The hardest part of the job is reinstalling the cam chain tensioners, it is a real PITA. Good luck finding the right bike. You won’t go wrong with a well looked after VStrom 650.

SP models should have chrome top carbs, non SP bikes have the black top carbs. I have had 2 black top carb xjr1300 Yamaha,s and one fuel injection model xjr1300 Yamaha. The carb ones are faster and look better. Fuel economy is about the same. I also had a fjr1300A Yamaha which is faster than the xjr but much heavier. I had a FZ1N Yamaha 20v R1 once as well, very light and very fast. I'm in the uk btw.

One plate should be thicker, and that one will be your base plate then friction then plate so on and so on, as one plate is thicker then the other six, for all the beginner out there.

Hi Land Shark, that last comment went before I was finished, so I will continue. Or the ability to transfer weight with the throttle or brakes, provided you not in deep sand😮 which can be stressful at times. The 60 odd hp and delivery is more than you ever need on road or offroad and the connection between the right wrist and the rear contact patch is, well magic. The only Vstrom I ever bought new was the first of the second gen 1000's. My four first gen. 650's have between 28K and 367K travelled, (not all my kms) are in various forms of modification to suit offroad to long road trips. They are just best do it all motorcycles with long term ownership being built on its durability. I wonder if Suzuki will ever redevelop a mid size 90 degree L twin again, or it's gone😢.

@ScottDyer-wy4qf 2 ай бұрын

Hi Land Shark, The DL 650 is a personal favourite on mine. The only problem I've got is which one of the 4 of them do I choose today, or should I just take the DL 1000a (2014) just for slightly different strom experience? The thing I like the most is front to rear balance and the ability to change it quickly with you riding position
