Only genuine Adventure Riders can review Adventure Bikes………….your opinion is worth a thousand sales brochures! You are so right about the suzuki, its only been bettered by the new Yamaha 700 Tenere.
As a fellow VStrom rider, I can echo Nora and Jojo's comments of this being a great daily and distance riding bike. My wife, who also has a VStrom 650, and I rode our older VStrom 9000kms in one month (from Ottawa to British Columbia and back – all in Canada ) without any issues. We didn't even worry about the bikes not making it. It is a solid and dependable machine. Thanks guys for promoting a great bike.
You’re so right Nora, vstrom v2 is a blast. Old motor though coming from the sv650 but super reliable. I’m an experienced rider and I give vstrom a 5 star. Bmws and KTMs are also nice bikes but ultra sensitive for long journeys. BMWs paralever is a disappointing thing If you’re seriously off-roading. On the other hand KTMs need everyday to be attended by a mechanic. I wouldn’t even dare to ride through Africa with a KTM. The best alternative for you would be Yamaha T700.

Why do beginners bash other brands? Looks like you have a hard time keeping bike upright

Amazing ❤️
I wish I had money to buy one
The raised front fender and handguard mods have been available for pretty much forever. It's kind of on you for not doing them.
