4 months ago. I traded in a '17 gen 3 DL650 for a Z900RS. Really like the RS but not the greatest for long tours. My brother seen a '22 VStrom 650 Adventue in Black/blue at local dealer. I miss the DL so much, I went and bought it. These are really good machines. I seen one with 250k miles on it. A service manager said one was in with 300k miles. Ours should last a while! Great video. Thanks.

For 650cc, this bike costs a lotta money. But hands down, this and the CB 500X are gold standards in terms of quality, although both are overpriced by atleast 1.0 - 1.5 lakhs. For the build quality alone it seems like they're both worthy in a way ...

Agree and sometimes CC is not a benchmark for comparing cost. The TVS moped XL100 is a 100cc and a Hero Splendor is also a 100cc and costs twice as much as the TVS. There was a time that CC could be used. And now things have moved onto so many other variables. Anyway, I see you point and agree on the build quality. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

I very much enjoyed this review and agree, although I've only had my 2021 model strom 2nd hand in Australia for 2 Months but I used to own a 2007 650 V-Strom before and the only thing I can feel what is different, is I was unfortunate to drop the newer bike on concrete and the crash bars saved the paint and the front indicators whereas on the older style (1st generation) the front indicators were the first things to break in a fall. So i'm happy that i've not had to replace everything. As for fuel, in my Suzuki Handbook, they recommend to use 95 RON mostly. In Australia we have 94 with ethanol (not recommended) 91 RON is ok and 98 is ok too but they say really a waste of money.

Hi guys! Thanks for a wonderful review. It was your previous review that sealed the deal for me to get the Vee, and in the same colorway as well! It'll be a year old in December this year, and after 12k kms, I'm loving the bike. Just wanted to know one thing. Have you guys faced any kind of strange vibrations from the handlebars? It seems to be coming from the collar. Every time I have to slightly tighten the collar and it goes away for a while. Is this common on the Vee? Or is something wrong with mine? The Suzuki dealership haven't been helpful at all. The one in Bangalore said they'd fixed it during my last service, and it seemed fixed for about 50kms, and then it was worse than the first time. Do you guys know what it could be? It's also present on smooth roads, and isn't very confidence inspiring when cornerning.
@bigbearbangalore2 жыл бұрын
Hi! Glad you liked it. And happy to hear about your Vee! Yes I faced that too and had it rectified at Aerolex. (Unfortunately they are shut for some reason and doesn’t look like they’ll open anytime soon. Some internal issues am told.) And, that t-stem issue I felt was creeping in after about 2,000 kms. However I just replaced the tyres at 20,000kms with a set of Timsuns and the slight t-stem looseness is gone!! I think it’s the stock Bridgestone tyres that were causing it. The side walls are very stiff on them thereby transmitting all the road vibes back up to the bars. With the new Timsuns the suspension has become super smooth and the overall handling has become great.

Hi! Thanks. Prospec works good for me. With just the stock windscreen, the top of my helmet was catching the wind and was noisy and disturbing. The cheap and best solution was the Prospec. Preferred to do this than invest a big fat amount on a bigger screen. Now my helmet catches no wind and the ride is quiet. I think there is no way to avoid scratches and I just live with it. And when it gets too bad, replace the screen. I prefer the deflector to a taller screen. This Prospec is adjustable to an extent and does the job quite well. I am 177 cms so guess you can try the deflector too. Cheers!
