V-Strom 650 Adventure Where You Least Expect It

- The V-Strom 650 ABS is truly a go anywhere, do anything motorcycle. It's comfortable carrying you to work, or if you get a little adventurous, well, then it will do that too. It's as happy on the M25 as it is round Cadwell Park and Apex Motocross track, as you can see here!

Lol so many commenters missing the point. It's not showing it competing with the track bikes and motocrossers! It's showing that you could take it pretty much anywhere and have fun.
Probably the best video I’ve seen on the Vstrom’s off-road capabilities! I think lots of newbies have a misconception of what they will “actually” be riding as far as off-road surfaces. For me, I’m 100% Baja Mexico! Paved roads, pothole roads, soft sandy roads, dirt roads, washboard roads and loose gravel and rocky roads! 75% is paved! Why would I ride a KLR 650 when in reality, with good 50/50 tires… Vstrom 650 makes a lot more sense!
That front end push at 1:58 going into the right hander had me flinch, skilled rider.
Actually I had a V-strom1000(2003) and pretty much did all of this stuff on it. That is why the 1000 and especially the 650 sell so well. They are properly versatile.
It wasn't saying its a good motorcross bike or a good racing bike, it was showing that it's not just a touring bike, it will also handle off road stuff and isn't a slouch on a race track.
Much better advertising than just cruising around the roads.
this is by far the most incredible v strom video i ever,ever see. and i tell you i seen a bloody lot of them. congrats to you guy's and now i want one asap
I'm on my second DL650. Great bikes. Not the best for heavy off road riding but everywhere else you get more than your money's worth. On tight curves it handles very well. Awesome video.
Love the video, well made, sure shows what our beasts are capable of :)
Got one of these, done 21,000 km over past 12 months on some really nasty gravel roads throughout New Zealand. Will be doing another 20,000 odd this year. Great bike!
This video sums up the V-Strom beautifully!
I love my V-Strom. It is a great bike.
So relatable, i did circuit, offroad, some airtime and commute all year round with this one.
all this vídeo means, is that these kind of bikes will everwhere. and they do!
best type of bikes on the market
I do Love my V Strom too
This is so crazy! I won't ride V-STROM this way. Anyway, it's really a good bike.
Very cool video - greetings from a GS rider
Nice video! Very nice motorcycle! ;)
Awesome Add,.have test ridden one through a river in Christchurch it is not a trail bike but nice and punchy with the new Gladius motor.
that was fun and cool ... going to hop on the DL1000 and go for a spin ...
There is so many options that occupy the middle ground between a road bike and a MX/supermotard bike.
It entirely depends how much of what riding you do to what suits you best, and on how much money you have. I had a DR650 that was probably 70/30 offroad to road, I know have a KLR650 which I'd say is about 50/50, but I think I'd like a DL650 that's around 70/30 or 80/20 road to offroad.
Sweet video!
Gotta feel so good to have the torque to power wheelie out of corners
just, the best of the best!
I have one in white. Its a fantastic bike. The insurance is lower than the Honda NC700X by quite a lot. The comfort is just perfect. I am keeping it FOREVER.
Brilliant bike, best all rounder for money
Just bought same one in the video last month and love it. The video is definitely exaggerated though
I love my v-strom
Love it!!!!
so want one.. saving up.. hopefully beginning of next year.
Lmao@ the tires.
my biggest dream! and I'll do everything to get it! ;)
Way to go suzuki. I did want one for myself, then i watched this.
Love my K9 GT. Just need some more sun!
"Super Sausage Cafe"
i own one..and totaly agree with you...
I couldn't agree more ...
Own a YZ450F, xr650R, Vstrom 650, Vstrom 1000 and Concours 1400.
If I could only keep one bike it would be the new DL650 with spoked wheels.
Best all around bike ever made.
I would definitely take it over a BMW GS.
dream on I've got one stay away from a race track and a moto crosser will slay it , it is a good bike though
Fun video but I swear I could hear the bike screaming "GET ME OUTA HEEEERRRRREEEE!!!" when it was on the motocross track.
Umas mas fantástica Mota que a Suzuki já fabricou
Sick!
I think you're missing the spirit of the video. They didn't do this with anything serious in mind. Seems they were just having a bit of fun messing around and showing that it CAN do those things. Of course it will be dominated with ease in any of those classes by purpose-build bikes (least-so on the roadracing course). They aren't trying to hide that obvious fact.
Get it? Side tracked! 😂😂😂😂😂
WOW 😮
Whatever, you can take any bike on dirt, gravel, highway, or track but all motorcycles have their specific uses. And lets be honest, the V-Strom, while it is a nice bike, is meant as a 80/20 motorcycle. It's not meant for track, it is not meant for trails, it is not meant for serious off road. What it is is a lower cost version of a BMW ( if that) that will allow the rider to hop on the highway, take some twisties to a forest service road and have a fun ride the entire time while being comfortable. And in that criteria of motorcycling it does it as well as many other bikes out there.
Please. I've taken my v strom where it "shouldn't have" gone and no worse for the wear. BMW's? Great bikes but you don't have to own one to only go certain places. That's B.S. Google "tea pot one" and tell me that an unmoded gsxr1000 doesn't make a great round the world adventure bike lol!!
While it's true that this bike is a highway-biased bike, it was never meant to be a dirt-biased bike. It can however wear some very knobby tires and do stuff offroad pretty well. It's not a KLR, a XR650L, or a 690 Enduro R, but it wasn't supposed to be. None of those bikes can do the highway thing as well as the V-strom.
Street bikes, ADV V-Strom, enduro/dual sport, off-road/motocross. That's sort of the progression.
There are street bikes which are called ADV bikes, because they have lifted suspensions, larger tanks, and comfortable ergos, but in reality are based on sportbikes. Then there are street bikes with the same mods that have dirt-orient tire sizes (V-Strom, F800 series, Africa twin, etc).
Then there are true enduro/dual sport bikes which are more heavily off-road biased but still catering to some paved distance, such as the KLR or 690 Enduro R.
Then there are the mostly off-road bikes (road legal or not) which are dirtbikes with some concessions made toward paved. KTM owns this for variety, but another example would be WR250R.
Beyond this, we have pure motocross bikes which are almost never road-legal. All that said, the V-strom exists in a #2 spot toward offroading, in a 1 to 5 point example. You can make it do more dirt worthy stuff if you put the knobbies on, bash guards, upgraded suspension. There will never be a do-all bike that can run with MotoGP and then run the doubles on a moto cross track on the same day.
There is a ton of variety in the motorcycle world now, which never existed before. It's great stuff. Don't forget to make this more confusing by throwing in all the Scrambler models available, or the myriad of classes within the street bike category.
Vstrom powaa !
funny how you sell the bike with the the header and oil filter hangout there, but in the off road sections you show it with a skid plate... something that should have been put on in the first place, whats sad is you still havent updated the new model with it knowing this flaw. Still love and want the bike though
A 10 years old video makes me want to buy a vstrom
So when I buy one and do all that, it does not invalidate any warranty?
thought about buying one too and fit it with dual sport tires..but isnt it too heavy in slippery stuff ...??
Sold!!!
Please tell us there's gonna be a facelift soon.!
They can go off road I put mine through mountain trails 4x4 only in the pissing down rain standard shocks and it did it well. It bottomed out. rocks smashed into the bash plate. Handled creek crossings put it through hell and I was on my own. 2005 dl 650. More clearance better suspension would have done the bike well from factory. But I paid 2000 Au dollars for the bike put chunky tyres on and instant adventure. Great value. It lives on a dirt road in Australia handles all the shit.
haha this pretty much captures it :)
How to off ABS for this modal
i dont ride on the slippery stuff so it doesnt matter but the v-strom is great
👀 wheres the 450cc vstrom real 50/50 bike 👍 that would be a winning combination. letting ktm WINNING the battle ATM!
Wow, i've got to try my Vee on the MX track. Maybe Ryan Dungee was riding in the video because that's so hard to believe it's laughable... OMG
How many drivers can do those moves with 240 kilograms? 300 kilograms if there are also side bags.
yeah but can you take the sv650 offroad?
This bike will always be best seller :P Fucking amazing Japanese School :)

great vidio it just wants to make you get one,witch i have.
If I'd not have a DL650A K7 for two years and drive it for 30000km, you could deceive me. :D
what tires were used ?
Can you imagine the for sale ad-
for sale-Suzuki V strom low mileage ex demo one careful owner!!!
Cadwell Park?
I didn't claim that an sv650 could do any of the thing this bike claims it can I just stated that I prefer the sv650 as a bike.
Dl 650 or tenere 700 how is better? I have dl 650 xt 2016
No comparison. VStrom on road Tenere where the pavement ends.
Plus $1500 lower MSRP and WAY more parts and accessories for the VStrom.
The new v-strom costs 6500-7000 euros in UK and Germany and 8500 to 9000 euros to Greece, WTF? Basic salary is at least half in Greece and taxiation above its maximum
man, great bike, but we all know this is advertising, and sometimes they tend to exaggerate a bit ok.. i think they are trying to show that this bike is an all rounder, but off course in the real world, a bike for an specific task would beat it, like a super bike will beat it on track day, but what would a super bike do in a dirt track???? this bike will perform well on any condition in an average performance. i think is a great bike.
yeah yeah suzuki...in your dreams!!! hehehee
aham essa moto anda em circuito isso ai é um concreto credo
Who is the rider?
やべぇ、欲しくなったわ
The MX bikes never got out of 2nd gear lol.
Sidetracked. It happens.
Klain Main...
Fun bit of advertising. To all the commenters that have to hate everything and everybody, did you miss the bit at the end? Wow, see a therapist already.
Yeah I did. What does the end have to do with anything?
Thx.
Would like to see the engine instruments after that dirt track
The 2 guys on the RMZ's wishing their bikes had electric starters lol hopefully Suzuki will fit them to their dirtbikes as all other manufacturers have for a few years now , you'd sell more bikes , its like you've given up on your dirtbike range which is a pity as you were once a leading brand in moto x .
This is all good but they left out the most important reason to ride this bike it's a total chick magnet.
I have a V-strom and you aren't picking up chicks on it. Truthfully, you never see hot girls on the back of any adventure bike.
@@kalel33 plenty of fat ugly ones at the super sausage!
Reminds me of a t shirt I saw on the back of a Harley rider "If you can read this, then the bitch fell off!"
Vstrom not good off road it's too heavy lovely on tarmac and comfortable
moto desejada
"Chuck Norris approves this bike".
Although a suzuki fan myself, this is pure COMEDY. They cut the part off where flaps deploy and it's airborned. That's what I'd like to see....V-Strom vs Comanche. They target customers with no to little experience with bikes.
Great video bet Alastair Seeley was a bit confused with you in front of him.
Still don't like the bike its a bit ugly and for a 650 seems rather big when you consider the SV650
LOL I love how they made it look like it was beating the other bikes on the dirt track. Put a pro rider on any bike and they can make it look impressive, the average rider would've been on their side! Don't get me wrong I like these bikes but come on don't make it look like it's ready for the Supercross track ROFL
... and it would have lost all the challenges it has taken in the video... a v-strom on the track? no matter what kind of track; you would make yourself center of common amusement. why don't they advertise with the abilities this bike actually has? it is a affordable travel on road bike.
yeah you can take any bike to the racetrack or to the dirt and then struggle. i today sat on that thing. never experienced a less appealing vehicle. i am a fan of the idea, but yamaha realized it more elegant with their XT 660, KTM sells the 690 as an enduro or supermoto, BMW has the F 800 GS (which is admittedly another price category) and all these bike beat that v Strom in any of these challenges. if you ask me: less power, less weight and more versatility. you cannot have everything.
Demasiado exagerado, es buena, pero tampoco tanto como para competir de tu a tu en terrenos específicos con las especialistas.
dont use stop engine button if all ok. This button just for emergency stop
I love my '12 V-Strom, but a motocross track, seriously? A fire service road is as adventurous as I'd get on that bike, and even that's an intimidating experience if you're used to dirtbikes. And God forbid you've got an incline on a dirt road with street tires like the guy in this video. You'll be pushing and revving while the rear wheel buries itself.
I couldn't disagree more. If it was a couple of guys having fun making a video, that's different. But this is a Suzuki ad, so by showing the bike on a moto track is misleading. Just because it "CAN" go on it doesn't mean it should! That's just what we need at the track, Vstroms. Suzuki shouldn't be making Ads showing a bike doing something it's not made to really do. They are trying to sell a bike by showing it doing ridiculous shit, and someone WILL buy it thinking it's more capable than it is.
I on a a v-strom. this is a joke..
WARNING: Don't do any of these stunts on your bike! It's won't happen, trust me!
I'm going to buy one, but this is the biggest load of marketing bullshit I've ever come across
It should include a free wheelbarrow and a shovel
брехня
Seriously? What ever!! VStrom is a cool bike and all but this little video is rather unrealistic.
Very lame advertising ...
