Hi Merci,Thank you for your comment. The vstrom 1000 is impressive in the first 4th gears with the torque delivery . On the other side, the engine allows a lot of comfort for use in the city. I think you appreciate your sv 650 for the same reasons too. Add to that a good sound and it makes a nice bike!!
Good informative video. Torque is an awesome thing ain't it? I grew up on Kawasaki Z1 900's and Suzuki GS 1000's/1100's and semi pro drag raced both. I've also owned a couple of older HD's. I bought a new DL 1000 V-Strom in 2003 and was impressed and surprised by the torque and response of this great v twin. Mine is covered in bags, a tall windscreen, a cushy heated seat and grips and is my sport tourer. 500 mile days are a breeze!
Thank you for sharing your story with your different bikes. When you have a vstrom, you know what to expect: robust, reliable, a powerful engine for everyday life and travel. According to my young experience I can say that it is one of the best choices to get for improving its technique. The bike is neutral, easy to handle !!
@@andrewshore262 The vstrom has a very pleasant engine since it offers engine torque from low revs in 2nd and 3rd gear. Accelerations are immediate. So very well suited for everyday city driving and overtaking is not a problem. In 4, 5, 6th gear, the engine torque is lower but the engine keeps this ease for any type of driving. The engine also shows that it is very predictable.
@@andrewshore262 I have also say that the vstrom 1000 (2015) was my 2nd bike and the 1st 1000cc I had. At that moment I was impressed by its speed and its torque. Today i got used to it!
Good job, but it's a bit longer rpm drop at take-off, where likely the loss occurred. Might want to give it 4300-4500 first and then manage start with the clutch. Thus revs won't go lower of its comfort zone
Punta quil pariu!!! Pare aferição de velocidade real, só pelo GPS. Painel, seja qual for, sempre a velocidade marca a mais. É por isso que antigamente eu acreditava que um fusquinha alcançava a velocidade de 145.km. Quando chega a uma velocidade máxima, um painel marca um acréscimo de 10/15 por cento a mais.
I have a SV650. Love the v twin engine, very high torque, low consumption and still fast when you reach high revs

I have an sv650 too on a 2001. I test drove the v strom 1000 today and it wiped the floor with it
Thank you for this proper review and test. Love it. Thank you
I ride the 650 mostly because that engine was constant temptation. Couple test rides and found it really hard to behave at all. Sooo good!
I have never tried the dl650. I'm sure it's lighter and more agile. it took me some time to properly control the dl1000. Ride safe .Cheers

650 is so ugly slow it is underpowered it is maybe medium fast till 120km/h after that , it is a mule.

Well done. Nice video. Just feel the heartbeat of the wave of torque. 😎
Thank you Ingo Lu ✌
Thanks for the video mate! I am going to test ride one of these this afternoon and I am surprised they are that fast.
I was too, have a good ride! Cheers
What did you think of it following your test ride?

@@bekhtaouif I’ve had mine for 2 years a 2018 model, they’re great bikes aren’t they👍
I'm impressed of the acceleration when put on 2. gear at 30kph, having a big gas to speedup to 110kph in 3-4 sec. :]
I know you can make 0-100 under 4 seconds. Love the torque
Still à dream lol . Love the torque too .
@@bekhtaouif No. Just practice your launches more.
Christopher you are right, it's a matter of practice. I'm sure i can do better now! Thanks for advice
2008 VStrom DL1000 - 3.2s!
Bike is good. Test is normal. Good luck on road.
Ride safe ✌
That’s more then I need!
However, touring with the girl and language, still be a beast I’m guessing.
Cheers mate.
old but gold…
impressive on the torque in 6th! I think with those revs and engine this bike eats miles on the highway at 120-140 kph?
Hi,
Yes that's right ! on highway the bike is at ease. you have to control yourself to stay at 120 kph lol . Thanks for watching !!
@@bekhtaouif hard to stay bellow 150km/h
@@whocanmakeyourwholeweek7272 😉
@@whocanmakeyourwholeweek7272 👍🏻Why I bought the 650!
Awsome video, thanks!!
Thank you ! Ride safe
sound like mercedes AMG
yeah

Well noticed evgeny 👍 Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching the video
Nice vid. Is that stock exhaust?
Never mind. Just noticed the video with GPR. Sounds great!
Thanks for watching !!
I de-restricted my '02 and managed 233 kph on a flat stretch.
Looks like you got your brights on all through the video.
friend the title of the song? congratulations is a plane

Nice videoo
This video is about ‘Quick’… not ‘fast’
Sure it is awesome. Mine is 2019. And a bit faster

the best I could do was 4.47 0-100
