2023 Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE | Refined, Powerful, & Advanced ADV Tourer

For 2023 Suzuki have updated their V-Strom 1050 line-up, including releasing this new DE model which is off-road oriented. With longer suspension, a 21-inch front wheel, larger footpegs, wider handlebars, lower windshield, skid plate, crash bars, and cruise control standard, the big 1050 V-Strom get a full off road treatment. But can it compete with the Honda Africa Twin, KTM 890 Adventure, Yamaha Super Tenere and others? Or is it overshadowed by it more athletic, lighter cousin the V-Strom 800DE? #motorcycle #motorbike #suzuki #vstrom #adv #advbike #advrider #dualsport #vstrom1050
