Suzuki's V-Strom 1000 Concept - The Future Is Here

3rd October 2012

Suzuki Motorcycles is offering a glimpse into its future with the release of a concept motorcycle, the V-Strom 1000 Concept adventure tourer.

Sharing the spirit of the globally successful V-Strom 650, the V-Strom 1000 Concept has been engineered to deliver fun, excitement and versatility to the open class rider who seeks a new world of motorcycling adventure.

"Suzuki Motorcycles changed the adventure touring category forever when it developed the V-Strom 650 and introduced to the world an incredibly versatile, comfortable and fun-to-ride motorcycle," said Perry Morison, General Manager, Suzuki Motorcycles.

"Our two V-Stroms, the 650 and 1000, are amongst the Australia's best-selling adventure tourers and we are very excited about the release of a concept V-Strom 1000 as it shows the future direction of this popular model and of our organisation."

The current V-Strom 1000's engine has been totally redesigned in this exciting concept motorcycle to focus on rider-friendliness and features a 1,000cc powerplant which produces effortless acceleration along with a strong and distinctive V-Twin rumble.

The slim and lightweight aluminium frame, thickly padded seat and an adjustable windscreen make the V-Strom 1000 Concept fun and easy-to-ride, whether it is cruising the streets or exploring outback roads.

For enhanced rider confidence when braking, the V-Strom 1000 Concept features a performance-inspired radial mount front brake caliper and an Antilock Braking System (ABS) to ensure ultimate traction on the road in all weather conditions.

The V-Strom 1000 Concept is also equipped with an advanced traction control system for enhanced sport riding, performance and the peace of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence.

The suspension has been totally overhauled with the V-Strom 1000 Concept featuring an inverted front fork and easy-to-adjust single shock style rear suspension.

Inspired by the 1988 DR750S, Suzuki's first big adventure tourer, the V-Strom 1000 Concept features bold and distinctive styling to create an unmatched presence.

The V-Strom 1000 Concept features an all-new luggage system which provides easy installation, a narrow overall width when installed and a clean look when detached.
