Suzuki DL1000GT
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 09, 2008Having changed from my SV1000S earlier this year as I needed a more tour friendly bike. I was not sure what tO change too. Spending some time to look at what other models where available. As a lover of the big V I decided on the V-strom 1000. I have to say that I have found no faults so far. Its ... not perfect by any means but at the price it is seriously good value for money. It truelly is a mile muncher, getting in excess of 200 miles on a tank of fuel. For both rider and pillion its comfortable. At 5'8" i'm slighlty on the short side as this is one tall bike. But once the suspension has been adjusted, panniers loaded and pillion on the bike the problems disappear. A lower seat is available as are some risers that adjust the ride height. I would recommend this bike to anyone that likes to tour twos up.
