2018 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT | Better Commuter Than a GS??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2019
- I've been lucky enough to have been riding the V-Strom 650 for the last month to really get to know the bike. I've been seriously impressed with the middle weight Strom and really I think I have found the best Strom in the range but does it make a better commuter than the ever popular BMW GS?

Chopped in my gs1200, 2016 , (reliability issues) for a new 650 v strom , it’s a commuter, it’s a tourer, it’s bloody everything and bulletproof, and got 3k back on my exchange !!!! No more Bmw for me !!!
Had a vstrom for 5 years, and 62000 miles later, with only amateurish home maintenance. What an incredible motorbike, loved it.
V-Strom 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 bought mine in 2010 with 23.000km, now with 108.000km still going strong 👌🏻
I sold my very high mileage 1100GS a year or so ago and bought a 2012 VStrom 650. I can't praise this bike enough.
Love my 650XT 2017 Smooth and reliable. Love my BMW 650 GS but hate repair costs and overall operating reliability it nowhere close to a Suzuki. End of the day my V-Strom 650 is best bike for all around riding I do.
super review
“Pick up the slack” 🤣👍
Excellent review
Did you leave your Maccies in the boot the whole time?
I'd have a v-strom over a bmw any day. Particularly the 1000. The price would be the first reason. Then reliability. Oh, and that glorious v-twin 😂😁😀
hi from france.....i own exactly the same bike its an 2018 yellow..... believe me, it s by far the best bike i have ever owned.... and i had a lot.... i became with this new strom a suzuki fan...... and a v strom die hard lover
Returned to bikes after a 20 odd year break (bloody kids) and bought myself a 2008 650 vstrom with 10,000km's on a 10 year old bike. I use it for my daily commute into Brisbane, it sips fuel and goes well when you want it to. Wanted an R Nine T but bugger it i'll run the Strom for a few more years.
One of the few best bikes ever made. This bike came very, very close to perfection. Legend.
I have a 45,000 mile 09 650 strom as a winter hack, but ended up using it for everything all year. Fantastic bike and can be very quick in the twisties. Very capable tourer too.
Mate and I travelled allover northern Spain last year😊 he on vstrom i on versys 650...both new..and to say they where brilliant is an understatement comfy economical fast enough easy to handle....mind😕 he's just got vstrom 1000 now....cheers from dave
Excellent review. Nice and honest and with the wonderful English humour. Also well done for riding in that weather!!
This is the best review on the bike, to date. Good job mate!
Great vid! I have a 2017 650XT, same color - LOVE IT! I was quite surrprised at the torque and gear overlap this bike has. As you said, it pulls with great power. I have to ride 5 miles in any direction to hit pavement from my home in SW Colorado and this bike does so well on our unpaved county roads as well as pavement. From various bikes I've ridden, it is the best bike for m needs. I have a dirt bike also, but this "adventure bike" ticks all the boxes for my needs. --Ray
The 650 is great. Wife pushed me on the budget and I ended up with a Tiger 800 XRt instead. The fact that the strom competes is testament. I really liked the low rpm assist, but the triple and cruise control got me.
I bought my 650 v-strom in 2019 and agree with you this is not the best motorcycle but it does make me smile on every ride. Thanks for agreeing with me Chops!
