SUIT NEW BUYER! ONLY 00053 KLMS!! TOP OF THE LINE DE MODEL. FACTORY QUICK DETACH HARD PANNIERS. LEGENDARY RELIABILITY! Suzuki’s V-Strom has a legendary reputation for comfort, reliability and amazing road performance. Suzuki finally took the hint and gave us a little more dirt clout with the XT in 2020, and now really puts the gumboots on with the new DE (Dual Explorer) that went on sale recently. It might have taken them two decades to do it, but Suzuki has now produced a V-Strom with a 21-inch front for the first time and added more suspension travel straight from the showroom floor. The differentiation between the regular V-Strom and the DE version is much bigger than what we previously saw in the XT and the DE. The swing-arm is also longer on the DE and provides the model with a longer wheelbase. Up front there is also more rake to help the DE retain decent stee on the road, helping to counteract the negatives of a 21-inch front when it comes to corne at lean on the tarmac. The V-Strom 1050DE boasts an inch more ground clearance than its more road oriented stablemate, which is also new for 2023 – 190 mm compared to the road-oriented 165 mm of its 19-inch stablemate. A decent bash-plate and crash bars are standard. The handlebars are 40 mm wider than the regular 1050 V-Strom and they do feel w-i-d-e. I would be experimenting with different positioning if taking a bike home for good. The new TFT display is sharp and easy to read, and the interface is intuitive – I think perhaps best in class when it comes to HMI. The two-way quick-shifter is very smooth and competent. Tokico four-piston calipers up front offer ferocious stopping power. They must be applied carefully in the slippery stuff, but of course there is ABS for back-up. And there is certainly no shortage of braking power when you want it. While there are some fantastic parallel twins now on the market, no amount of crankshaft off-set tinke makes them a proper V-twin – which the Suzuki most certainly is, with the powerplant tracing its roots right back to the TL1000S a quarter of a century ago. The 90-degree 17 cc V-twin has been revised with new hollow sodium-filled valves and drives through an improved gearbox, with different internal ratios for first and sixth gears. There is no need for balance shafts in an engine that has perfect primary balance and this must be part of the reason why the response of the engine feels so instantaneous in comparison to most modern bikes.
