The
V-Strom has an aluminium-alloy twin-spar frame providing
nimble and agile sports bike handling that’s
guaranteed to leave the opposition standing and deliver
a huge injection of adrenalin in the process.
As a practical touring vehicle, the mile-hungry DL1000
has it all. A relaxed upright riding position provides
good visibility, whilst the
Fullwidth seat gives
a large dose of comfort. The convenience of a large
22-litre fuel tank makes for longer riding distances
between fill-ups and Suzuki’s digital fuel injection
and engine management system helps to achieve better-than-average
fuel economy.
