V Strom adventrue bike survives deep water

[pieface1961]

ballsy, gearing is very tall on the stock V Strom for any tight trails, I wish they had a "bull low" 1st gear, lets call it 0.5, keep the ratios 1, 2, 3, 4 and make the last gear the same ratio as stock

awesome!

Why would somebody take the vstrom 1000 off road? I still say it is a road bike rhe drz400 or drz650 or the klr 650 is much much better choice

@stonesharve I own a DRZ400 but the challenge of riding a V-strom offroad is completly different. I guess I ride it off road for the same reason people climb mountains and jump out of good airplanes

Hey, what kind of tires where you using on your vstrom 1000 off road?

[btkacs]

@mavilach

Contental TKC 80's

[flimuol]

show !

[greennobody]

IMO poor tire choice: what about TK88's?

[btkacs]

It had TKC 80's on it... there is no such thing as a TKC88?! Are you aware of a new tire coming out?

[diegoh81]

just look at that VStrom behaving all agile!!!!!

Great ride!!

Right on Bret! I think a VStrom 1000 would fit nice between my Goldwing and Suzuki B-Ing. ;-)

I'll let you know how it handles Mexico in a few weeks. I'll have the camera with me so I hope there will be some great video

well the Strom made it through Baja with flying colors but after riding a BMW F800 GS it went up for sale. Looking forward to some serious offroad on the Beemer
