  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. The raised front fender and handguard mods have been available for pretty much forever. It's kind of on you for not doing them.
