OMG, they show off a V-strom adventure whit out a skidplate lol. Not god :)

I got a V-strom expedition 2010, its a realy god bike it wil take you everywhere you whant to go fore shure, i can safly recomend this bike and whit the stock 22L tank it is built fore great distance riding.

I think its sad that the other bikes like BMW get so mutsh credd, i guess they have more money to advertise :D

@TommyStokke It really is a great long-distance adventure touring motorcycle, and not too heavy. I'm sure Suzuki has a skidplate they'll sell as an add-on. It's true that the KTM and BMW bikes get a lot more press, but the V-Strom has a seriously strong cult of followers and will be around for many years.

Really considering a V-Strom 650 as my first bike. Love the look of the 2012, but will probably get a used '07. Love those panniers! Can they fit older models?

[hoohoohoblin]

@BattlestarPacifica I looked for Panniers on the Suzuki website and didn't see any. I know Toruatech and Happy-Trail sell different sized V-strom panniers for older V-Stroms. I don't think they made any major changes to the V-Strom since 2007.

adventure?.....without motorplate.....coffee-racer .......

@johnnyass68 I was thinking the same thing. That exhaust pipe looks really fragile down there. I bet Suzuki sells accessory bolt-on bash plates for the V-Strom 650, but it really should be a standard part on the motorcycle if they want to sell it as a serious adventure bike.

@johnnyass68 It costs $500 to fix that (Look at AltRider). Suzuki want to keep the price down. 98% of the people never do any off road with a V-Strom.
