The 2021 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT sits at the top of the range of their big adventurers, and as such gets quite a few extra bits of kit over the other models. It's been a popular bike since its launch in 2020, and its retro styling, lifted from the late 80's Suzuki DR Big, makes it stand out against its competitors. But what's it like as an all-around 'Adventure' bike? I this video I look at the key features of the V-strom 1050XT and how it rides both on and off-road.

The V-Strom is a seriously underrated bike, I have owned two 650's and a 1000 'Desert' edition which my wife and I went to Lake Garda on and it didn't miss a beat, it is a bit heavy fully loaded but as with all bikes you soon work out a technique of moving it around. If I was in the market for another bike to share garage space with my tweaked Interceptor 650 (and the wife agreed lol) this one would be a serious contender as I think it is extremely good value for money.

@@fragu123 I did my years riding to college in the snow etc. Nowadays I'm an old geezer so I only ride on warm dry days and clean the bike with a damp cloth. I've seen me come across water running across an otherwise dry road and actually U-turning rather than get the bike splashed. Plus it's a Suzuki the finishes are not the best so needs extra care to stay minty.

@bikecommuter24
@bikecommuter24 2 года назад
Seems like a nicely loaded bike and 20 litres of fuel, nice. For Adventure Motorcycle you want low and mid range power ,very rarely will be at full throttle on off road situations, although I know of a few smooth dirt roads that you can do that on. funny how the Dual Purpose -Dual Sport Motorcycles went from accessorized Dirt bikes to full on fully equipped motorcycle. I still kind of miss my old Honda XL 250 not very fast speed on the highway it struggled at any over 65mph or around 100kph but it handled off road very well.
@mancavemoto
@mancavemoto 2 года назад

@mjs.910

Mines in black with gold wheels, I think these are very underrated. I must admit I've changed the seat for the low one (30mm lower) because mainly of the slightly awkward foot peg position. Not fused on Bridgestone tyres (had few moments on other bikes & cars with them) so when they're gone, it'll be some decent make. Cracking bike, a keeper for me..👍😀👍
@teapotwood2817
@teapotwood2817 Год назад
I had the 1050xt….I have to say I really miss it. Foot pegs are bloody awkward. How did did the lower seat help with this did it move you slightly forwards making it less of a problem or just easier by being able to get foot more planted ? I am seriously thinking of getting a 2022 model even thought the new 2023 is out…mainly because it is a bargain at the moment and Loved it so much before…..guess you don’t know what you have until it has gone !
@mjs.910
@mjs.910 Год назад
The lower seat gives me more of foot on the floor & more options where to put it in more awkward places. On a normal flat road their wasn't a problem, but back roads & mountain lanes/passes aren't flat. It makes it much easier on the roads less travelled. Certainly liking the bike though, suits me hands down. 👍😀👍

If you're not bothered about mega tech, you'll be perfectly happy with this bike. Many years ago, I used to ride around Europe on a 650 Katana which was an essentially maintenance free machine and I had a fantastic time. Compared to that, the big V-Strom is like the Starship Enterprise! I guess if you've got deep enough pockets, you'll just have to splash out on the latest BMW/KTM/Triumph/Ducati/Honda tech monster; well, fill yer boots. I doubt you'll really enjoy your inter continental touring experiences much more than on a more modest machine.

Why almost NO motobloggers bother to mention the SERVICE ?!?! Service is not cheap. Some bikes demand valve check even every 10000km. Others 60000.... It takes planing and getting ready not to have the bike while it's serviced + the costs ! So - WHY NOT to mention ?
@mancavemoto
@mancavemoto 2 года назад
I think the reason might be that they only have the bike for a short time and are not owners, therefore don’t experience that element. Personally I never really consider the servicing, if I like the bike enough to buy it, the servicing is just something you have to deal with. But I’m not saying that’s an excuse to not include it. Essentially the reviewer will have to look up the details, and anyone that is bothered by service costs will do the same anyway.
