I take a look at Suzuki’s V-Strom 1050 XT, which received a host of updates in 2020, and offers arguably one of the best value adventure platforms out there right now in the 1000 cc category.
That includes a strong electronics package, that’s further extended on the XT version, a characterful V-twin powerplant that offers plenty of thrills and quite distinct riding feels between modes, a strong brake setup with ABS (cornering on the XT), an adjustable screen, side and centre-stand and much much more.
Moto Hub Motorcycles were kind enough to lend me their demo bike for the day, so here’s my thoughts on Suzuki’s 2020 V-Strom 1050XT. Check out Moto Hub if you’re in/near the Castle Hill area of Sydney, or if you’d like to test ride the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT – https://www.motohub.com.au/
