Suzuki V-Strom 1050 Full Review: OnRoad, OffRoad, Tech, Love & Hate

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 Full Review: OnRoad, OffRoad, Tech, Love & Hate

The V-Strom is a legend in the ADV community, serving riders since 2002. Updated in 2014, and again for 2020 with the 1050, 1050XT and 1050XT Adventure models, does it stay true to the V-Strom mentality - a tough, reliable, comfortable all around bike? To find out, Suzuki lent me one for three weeks, and I've put it through its paces!

We delve in to the bikes features, tech, take it off roading, carve some twisties, talk about what I love and what I hate, and how it compares to other bikes in the category. Get your favorite drink and some popcorn, we are going all the way with this review.
