Contrary to popular uneducated belief, an unmodified Suzuki V-Strom 650 can be ridden on more than just flat dirt and gravel. Watch the V-Strom in its natural habitat as it tackles progressively more difficult terrain. 🍁

Hell yeah! Nice work by both of you. I hope to one day be half as good as that. I get a huge smile every time I see your intro video. So good.
Great seeing those V-Stroms in the mud. Having the confidence to nail it when needed really helps. This video definitely proves it's not the bike or tyres but the rider!
This is wild! I have a 650 Vstrom and was thinking about putting some knobby tires on it and trying to go on dirt trails. This guy with stock tires is good.

This is still so dang awesomeness every time I go back and watch it!
Jesus that guy can ride! well impressed would like to see how fast he'd go on the modded Strom amazing skills....great video guys
Wow! Inspirational! I've not been able to find anything like that around here, but I WILL! SUBSCRIBED!
What an excellent ride! Your friend really knows how to handle the Strom. I wish I could ride like that someday.
Hello from the friends in New York! Great to see great riders on what others may consider "inappropriate bikes" :D
love this run into gaspereau lake and across the power lines..so fun! great vid👍
Fantastic Drive!!! 👍👍👍. I got a VStrom 650 (2007) and I think it's hard for me.. But that guy is a magic man!☺️👍
What a vid man! I just picked up what looks like a spitting image of that bike. 2011 vstrom and after watching this ,I’m in trouble. Good fun awesome trouble.
Im impressed. Way better rider than I will ever be, but a way better bike off road then I ever expected.
Thrown mine around offroad a few times here in the UK, I even managed to get it round an enduro course once (although I soon got tired, and the other riders on much lighter machines soon got tired of waiting for me to pick it up too...7 times 😅) They're great bikes, I love mine. Pretty much bulletproof for reliability too. Your mate has SkillZ! Cheers 🤟😉
Awesome brother...enjoy them
Beautiful bit of riding, subscribed! All I could think was eventually, he was going to buy it in the mud ruts diving in and out like that. More speed, bigger bike, bigger crunch when the unexpected happens. Glad you all came through ok.
He has natural ability and a fantastic sense of balance 👏
Man im so close to trading my strom 650 for a trail bike. Coz a newbie adv rider like me ( pardon my ignorance) would think that you need a trail bike to tackle tracks like these. I was proven sooooo WRONG in this video, and thank you for posting this..🙏🙏 Now I gotta go out and practice

Just discovered your channel, glad to see other NS hosers with bikes on trails. May have to make a trip to CB with my RnineT! I don't have any videos offroad of it yet, but it's still got the OE suspension (garbage!) and tires from factory. At 500lbs, it's both a handful and an absolute riot

who was that masked man - A Natural for sure - I started to cheer for him - that was a lot of fun to watch -
Well that's probably more off roading than I'll ever do. I'll be happy with my Strom and quit dreaming about a T7.
thank you , I will not be doing his on my V, he didn't even have the XT wheels, great video
Wow! Hard riding off road on adventure bikes, I've never seen that before, I did not think it was even possible.
AWESOME
Not bad, not bad at all. My only critical observation is that the terrain is flat. No rocks, logs, heavy ruts etc. What I want to find is videos like that one from Greece. I still can't decide if there was some CGI in that one.
@TTADV

Hahaha, CGI not required. It does “look” flat, the wide angle action cameras and high mounting angle smooths the terrain in the image. Working on budget creative solutions to that.
Que piloto mas berraco!
Was this all CGI? Cause every Motojournalist ever says you can't take a V-Strom off road. Very cool footage and a great video. Stay muddy my friends!

Great video footage of incredible off road riding. Look forward to more of your channel. I’ve got a Vstrom 650xt and am learning how to ride off road. How he can handle that mud on the stock 80/20 tires I don’t know. What was his tire pressure at I wish I knew
nice skill

V-stroms are great off road bikes. They can handle pretty much anything you throw at them. We put our to the test fully loaded with gear. We both still run stock cast wheels and ride through tons of rocky creek crossings and haven't had a problem yet. O yeah Motoz tires are the only way to go 😁

I have a 2012 650 and manufacturers will always be conservative with off road estimations. Thank the lawyers for that. I have little time on two wheels off road, but now I'm confident at least of the bike. It will mean many drops off road as long as you have the side boxes off. I slipped on a water crossing and when I put my foot down the forward motion of the bike caught my foot under the side box and broke my leg. Tough lesson learned, but be aware.
