The Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom, a versatile and capable adventure touring motorcycle, debuted in 2002 and quickly established itself as a formidable competitor in the segment. The V-Strom, named for its 996cc, 90-degree V-twin engine, offers a balance of performance, comfort, and practicality for long-distance riding. Its upright riding position provides excellent visibility and comfort even over extended periods, while the ample ground clearance and long-travel suspension allow riders to confidently tackle both paved and unpaved roads. The DL1000's robust construction, with a sturdy steel frame and capable brakes, ensures it can handle the rigors of adventure touring. It also features a generous fuel tank, a spacious luggage rack, and the option for hard panniers, providing ample storage for luggage and gear.

The first generation V-Strom, produced from 2002 to 2011, was a popular choice for its reliability, durability, and versatility. It was known for its smooth power delivery, comfortable ergonomics, and surprisingly capable handling, both on and off-road. However, the DL1000 V-Strom did have some shortcomings, including a slightly dated design and a somewhat heavy feel compared to newer competitors. With the introduction of the second generation model in 2012, Suzuki addressed some of these issues, incorporating a more modern design, improved suspension, and a lighter overall weight. The DL1000 V-Strom has continued to evolve throughout its production run, with each generation offering improvements in performance, handling, and comfort. Today, the V-Strom remains a strong contender in the adventure touring segment, attracting riders seeking a reliable, versatile, and comfortable machine for both daily commuting and long-distance adventures.
