SUMMARY:
Combined with high-level components, including all fully adjustable suspension and sports backgrounds (remember that the fork was taken nothing less than from the GSX-R 1000 K8, with appropriate adjustments to suit a maxi enduro). There is then an ABS system to top, front brake calipers combined with radially mounted. Debuts, an absolute novelty for Hamamatsu, traction control, which provides three different ways to use clickable. Besides being a bike that you ride immediately as if we knew for a long time, one of the few enduro that you leave maxi drive as a naked, you add features to gran turismo, as the excellent comfort for the rider and passenger, the V-Strom 1000 is certainly not disfigures in comparison with its main competitors, a multi-function instrumentation intuitive and easy (all commands are enclosed in the left block), the windshield can be adjusted both height and inclination (patented solution from Suzuki) and the 12-volt socket. Suzuki did not then wait in vain for years for the advent of the new V-Strom 1000, why the long wait came to an end with the presentation of a very successful project.
ENGINE: The smooth delivery, combined with easy and intuitive chassis, making it almost superfluous. In addition to the gifts that we’ve got to find out driving the V-Strom 1000, the engine is also at the forefront from a technological point of view. Suzuki did not leave anything to chance. Make their debut on the V-Strom 1000 dual spark plugs per cylinder, very long life electrode-type being tipped Iridium alloy, combined with two ignition coils per cylinder, dual-injection butterfly valve, new injectors, noble materials and lighter for Pistons, fly, controller and voltage regulator highly reliable next-generation. In addition there is also a new clutch fitted with anti-hopping with SCAS (Suzuki Clutch Assist System).
The contestants, although higher displacement must begin to worry here too. 🙂
