- Suzuki V-Strom 1000 (Mk 1) Fuel Economy - Empirical Result. E5 Fuel vs E10 discussed. An Utter Behemoth !
Here we establish an empirical finding on the fuel consumption for a 2003 Mark 1 Suzuki V-Strom 1000, when driven at the legacy extra urban cycle speed of 56 mph (max) along 'A' roads, with the tyres at the correct operating pressures, with drive chain freshly oiled this day, and the disc brake pads running freely on the disc. The outcome is quite surprising actually compared to other figures you may have seen cited on the internet.
I do take the time throughout this video to fully explain the operating parameters applied in this fuel consumption trial, without which it would not constitute a definitive nor proper benchmark basis for fuel consumption comparison.
Thanks for watching.

Appreciate you doing this at such a time. Those really were ridiculous days. Media driven hysteria. Exactly what I was looking for though.
Sorry to say this but that was extremely painful to watch😂! The fuel calculation I did in my head in a few seconds so how on earth could have taken you soooooo long on video?😂. Well done though for doing it at such a time.
For context though, my R1200RS averages 60mpg some 15 more than bike mags tested it at but we all know how they ride.
Suzuki VStroms are great bikes, much under rated. If I could only keep one of mine it would be my 17yr old Veestrom650. It makes more sense in todays traffic on UK roads and riding conditions than just about anything else. Japanese middleweights are really some of the most versatile and dependable bikes made.
Well thank you Sir for watching. Yes it was a bit of a long one, a bit of road ambience and scenery, a bit of dialogue re fuel types and also the rationale and definition parameters of the fuel range test itself, not least the differing road conditions deriving said result. Kind regards.
As discussed this morning, found you, subscribed, keep up the good work
Thank you so much good Sir. Kind regards.
Do you get a shudder when throttle up through gears fellow dl1000 vstrom owner cheers
Hello Sir. With appropriate gear selected to road speed, not at all, but there is a known latent clutch basket judder issue on the Mark 1 vstrom which I have not yet myself encountered. If your Vstrom has many more miles than mine then maybe those are the symptoms you describe. Kind regards.
