Paul gets his new Suzuki V-Strom

Paul travels to a motorcycle dealer in upstate New York to take possession of his brand new 650cc Suzuki V-Strom ABS. Yup, a motorcycle with ABS. The dealer guy does the run through on all the buttons and gizmos, and then starts her up. The V-Strom is in the so-called "adventure touring" category. The V-twin gives it a little extra low rpm grunt for off roading, and being a 650 keeps it light, but with enough power to hit triple digits. It also has a taller front wheel than say a sport bike. The big loud clunk in the middle of the video is your faithful photographer stepping on the dealer's clipboard while walking backwards. Camera: Canon Elph SD880is

@notxess66

This would be at Sportline, a motorcycle dealer in or near Glens Falls, New York.

Fabulous.....I wish I could experience the thrill of those moments....I know them...I used to see high-end import vehicles, and the delivery process itself was very exciting, watching the buyers, educating them. Some wouldn't listen, they wanted to get in and go. Regardless, I was "there" all during this vid and appreciate your having posted.

be carefull on this bike! close friend who is a Suzuki tech told me the piston pins will wear out quick and the front wheel forks tend to blow out seals and leak all over causing front brake caliper failure. Othefr than a few things like that it should be a decent bike..
