I love mine! Best ride I’ve ever owned. Handles great. Goes like a bat outta hell when you need to. Brakes are incredible. Best part though, is the reliability, it just doesn’t break down. My mate bought a BMW same time I bought my Vstrom. He’s had 3 different serious break downs which all left him stranded on the road side!
I have the same bike, it is simple to toggle the speedo from Kmh to Mph, I've done it on mine in the past, a quick check in the manual will show you how. It's a great bike and if you take it easy you'll get atleast 60mpg, I've even seen 66mpg which is great for a litre bike. More than enough power for safe overtaking and motorway cruising, great allround bike in my opinion Sandy
I've just watched his 1st ride, I know goose holds back, but on the other hand I could tell he was chuffed to bits with his new bike, I remember i wanted a bandit or fazer back in the 90s, the fazer was top choice, but unfortunately kids came along and I opted for a car, boo who. But it's a great bike he got, thanks to his wife and maverick, great video again, Craig you do a cracking job with the editing 👏 👍
Great looking bike and you got one hell of a good wife there Goose, and I'm made up your now coming to France, as all the lads said it wouldn't be the same without you ♥️
Such a great piece of work Craig and Mrs Goose. Such a great effort by Mrs Goose to go that extra for the man and you all pulled it off. A great vid Craig and enjoy your new ride Goose.
Great bike Goose it looks mint...👍🏼👍🏼 I have a yellow and black 1000 and it's the best bike I've ever owned. Enjoy and ride safe me mon. Go on Craig....... Do it.... you know u want one 😜😜😜 Cheers to all the Motourev lads for all the entertainment over the years
I have a 2017 Vstrom 1000 and I love it so much, best way to describe it is, it's like a Swiss army knife 😁 does everything, mines loaded with extras, Heed for engine bars and skid plate, Shad for the panniers. It's an amazing bike you're gonna love it 👍
I had a 2016 version and loved it. Low maintenance and reliable. Mine didn't like shift from 1st to 2nd gear at high rpm. That was the only thing stopping me from calling it perfect. For the screen I recommend GIVI Airflow. I also had a GPR Furrore slip on. Sounds MUCH better. You will enjoy this bike.
Great video 👍 , I picked mine up last week and I love it. I have the same top box plate as yours but I can’t work out how to fix it, do you have any pictures of how it’s fixed down
Great bike. I have the V Strom 650 and the sv 650. I had a 1000. I like the 650 models the best. plenty of power and can ride all day on 1 tank of gas.
Had a Bandit 12 myself and was seriously considering a Vstrom. Ended up buying a Versys 1000, only because my local garage had one in and it was mint. Lovely bike there Goose 👍
Lovely bike, can't go wrong for the sort of riding you lot do. I had 2019 vstrom 1000xt and loved it , traded up to a 2021 vstrom 1050xt and think your seat is the lowered version, and is way more comfortable than the 2020 onwards. Still got my old maroon 96 Bandit 1200 in the garage, ride it often, another bike you cant go wrong with. :-]
Top draw Goose your one lucky lad,first cos of the Boss,and second having a great mate like Craig,take it easy on your new throbber mate ;-) Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Nice one Goose….I nearly bought a V-Strom but opted for the Super Tenere purely on being a slightly more comfortable position. The engine in the Strom is very reliable and pulls strong, just needs a nice end can to let that big twin lump be heard. Nice one mate and glad you like your new bike 🤘🏻
@@mindwalkerpod in relation to the position of the rider foot pegs. On the Tenere they’re slightly lower and further to the rear, therefore giving the rider a more relaxed leg position.

They certainly do live up to their name
Great old Midlands expression, "I ain't gonna thrape it"! Lovely bike Goose, hope you have many happy miles to come.

I bought the first year V-Strom 1000 and still love it. Over 60,000 miles and I've never had a serious problem.

Great first ride vid goose glad you're so pleased with it. Only problem now is Maverick following you round green with envy 😁

Nice bike mate well done team. Now get some goodies for it!
Engine bars on order 😉👍🏻
Nice one Goose, suit you sir 🤘
Good review thanks guys I’ve just bought one for a good price doing it up now

Brilliant, watching that, it was like having a new bike myself. Enjoy old pal 👍👍

Awesome video lads nice bike mate

Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Great bike , perfect for touring and scratching about , enjoy goose, safe riding 👍🏻
Wives are indeed awesome 💖
Mine as just bought me a 2014 Honda CB1100, and is looking at maybe getting her bike licence.
😮😍
Loved my 2017 VStrom 1000, had bikes since then, but still hanker for another one…
It's a cracking bike good size mirrors I noticed there well do on that one guys : )
Kph to Mph - if it's the same as mine - toggle the screen until you get the odo, press and hold adjust :)
Didn’t know Suzuki made a bike like that. Looks and sounds great 👍. Plenty of power there I’m sure.
I was surprised myself
Suzuki have produced the Vstrom for 20years. Great bulletproof bikes and easy to work on too.
Nice bike enjoy stay safe.👍
Lovely bike Goose🤘👌. Looks like Mav has sown a seed for his next bike too 😂
Would love one, it was great to ride

How can you describe the difference in riding position? I'm considering between the v and s10 myself

Nice bike, Would that be any good for short riders
I think out of all the adventure bikes this is the one more suited for shorter riders.
What part of the world is this? L2 650 owner here. MN USA.
We are Birmingham UK 🇬🇧 home if the Peaky Blinders 🤘🏻
It suited Craig that did 👌🏻 let’s see what Santa brings you. Only if your a good boy 😉 glad goose liked it
Look at his little mutton chops ... Great looking bike 😁🤘
A very nice ride! Stay safe! :) #ThrottlePHI
