Recently I test drove the Pan America, Tiger 900 , Yami 700 tenre and a yellow 1050XT. Friends have Multi Strada Africa twin and GS 1200. Few days later scored a 2020 for 14300 Out the Door. Really love this bike

Congrats! I think this bike is the most under rated bike in the Adventure space. The technology is as good if not better than most ... man! And it is SOLID. Nice work!

Thanks Kyle! The comparison to the bmw is what I wanted to hear. U totally sold it! I am looking for something to do the continental divide and still be solid enough on the highway to get back home.

Glad it was helpful! It really is a sweet machine. I think it is a slightly better road bike than the Africa Twin... I thing it is on par with the BMW and much less off-road oriented than the T7. It is it's own bike... Again, Nice Work Suzuki.

I put 31K miles on the previous XT- it's a damn good road bike, suspension is really good on the twisties once setup for your weight.

I was totally impressed with this bike. Way more so than the previous Gen V-strom. They really stepped it up.

Excellent video, way to throttle on the V-Strom. I have an '18 DL1000XT, the 2020 model is a noticeable upgrade - better balance and throttle response. It has me thinking about trading up. 🤔🏍️

The best all around " Big" Adventure bike. Reliable, cool retro design, the right amout of tech, smooth reliable engine and easy to drive. The only thing missing in this 1050 XT is the Quick Shifter, and in the ABS version the Cruise control is missing. Great job by Suzuki.

This is interesting: In 1968, a Pontiac Firebird equipped with a Ram-Air 400 V8 made a claimed 325 horsepower, while the same exact engine in a GTO made 360. Why? GM had a rule in the 1960s that its cars couldn't make more than 1 horsepower for every 10 pounds of car (the only common exception being the Corvette, the other secret exception were 427 SS Chevelles sold on Indian reservations). The Firebird weighed around 3300 lb, while the GTO weighed 3600, hence the discrepancy.

What would you choose between suzuki 1050xt, tiger 900 rally, bmw f850gs and tracer 9? To comfort trip

@manybikes

2 жыл бұрын

What are you trying t set me up for anyway? With a question like that... Well, here you go... The Tiger 900 Rally would be MY pick as it is much more "off road oriented" but I would be Super Scared of not being able get parts (not if... but when) it breaks. I think it is sexy and capable off-road. The BMW F850GS is AMAZING but just does not have the HP or guts of the 1000cc bikes and it is not as capable off-road (I bottom it out a lot!) ... If riding mostly highway I would pick the Suzuki 1050xt as it is fast and has more capable than the R1250GS! Suzuki killed it... but it is not as "dirt oriented" as I would like. Great answer / non-answer eh? Hope it helps anyway! - Kyle

High quality review. Being in the market for the Big ‘Strom I’m still not convinced the “new” model is a wiser purchase than a pre-owned ‘18 -‘19 model. Not even close to being convinced . . .

@manybikes

3 жыл бұрын

I think the old and the new are "two different bikes" and I do understand where you are coming from. The new one is more like a BMW R1250GS where the old one is more like a Yamaha T7 or a 2016 Africa Twin. Very different bikes for different riders in my opinion.

Nice review, I bought one after seeing few reviews. Very pleased, in some ways its better than my gs1250. It's a very nimble machine and half the price.Dont think I would take off road ,either of them ,only because they would be a handful, would go for a proper off road machine.

How v-strom performs in twisties road compared to Gs?

@manybikes

2 жыл бұрын

The v-strom will go head to head with the GS in the twisties for sure! The GS will dive less in the front due to the telelever but ... the computer technology in regards to breaking on the v-strom is FAR advanced! I would take the V-strom over the GS any day of the week.

How does this compare to the Yamaha Tenere?

@manybikes

3 жыл бұрын

I think this 1050xt is more closely compared to the Super Tenere than it is the T7. The T7 is much more off-road oriented and the Super T is much more of a touring machine. Those two are very similar... but the electronics on the 1050xt are super!

It also has cruise control ....
