Cold and rainy today but I had to ride with my brother to pick up his new V-Strom 1000.

Wow! he makes that bike look small lol.
I've done Pre Delivery Checks on that model at my workshop, and road tested a few. They are quite a nice bike to ride.
They are a vast improvement on the early models.
 
I like them , and the spoke wheels . Two things that need attention is the bags on the bike as the exhaust side is far to small . Second they need to add cruise control like all the other ADV players have in the market .
They are stone reliable , and much better price than others .
 
They are nice and roomy for us big guys too. You are right @c10 the are missing a few things the euro’s have but I suppose that’s what keeps the price down. This one was on promotion with spoked rims, hard panniers, and crash bars included but panniers and bars are back ordered. So we picked it up without it and will have to install ourselves.
Looking forward to putting some time in the saddle myself.
