Im 6'5" and I love the way I feel and look on mine. Its got the size and power I was looking for!

Brilliant bikes I absolutely love mine and I swapped from a 1200 GS. Quickshifter is awesome

Definitely, the yellow is great but not really my thing. Black suits it really well!!!

​@tomstc most bikes have black as a colour but what happened to white, cars still come in white, did anything happen for it to be like this? (I started riding in '22)

There's a reason they've been around for so long. Great bikes, and the tweaks and upgrades they've made have improved it massively. It's on my list of possibles when the Versys goes. Oh Thomas, what are you to do? Think you may have just answered that mate 👍

Honestly, I'm seriously impressed with it, and analogue enough to make me grin.

Tall, comfortable, confidence boosting as well as the novelty of that V-engine. Hehe, glad to see you enjoying it! ;)

Oh yes!

so how tall are u? Is it good for tall rider? lol that was the point i clicked on the video and havent heard it mentioned at all yet

I had a 2009 DL650 and am amazed by the number of things on this bike that are unchanged from my 2009 V-Strom.

This is a so much better than the Beemer you tested earlier. Kinda makes you forget the BMW. I have the 650 besides my MT01. Suzuki is a great brand imo.

Certainly has more character! Which appeals to me!!!

It'll do 99% what the big boys will do, for less money, and handles really well on the road if you can be bothered to play with the suspension. Solid engine will outlast the cockroaches, just bang it in top and ride the torque. I put 30K happy miles on the previous model, which I chopped in for my current 1290S.

Could you explain "just bang it in top"

After seeing Uncle Red has bought a 1050 V-Strom, I had a look at the prices & the used ones prices are awesome...Although a real huge hit has been taken by whoever bought them new! 😮👍 So only time will tell what you settle with mate,although I bet your away test riding KTM'S & Ducati's aswell by now! 🤪🤣👍
