The cockpit looks a lot better than the old one .... Very nice 👌

I love the look of the V-Strom 1050 in yellow and blue. Indeed I had every intention of buying one...until I test-rode it. GUTLESS. Never been more disappointed in a bike. Just as I was expecting it to 'get going' it seemed like it had hit a limiter, running out of steam. Change up a gear, and get the same again. Suffice to say I took it back to the dealers and voiced my disappointment. I was glad to get back on my ZZR1400 for the ride home.

I suppose there is a fair bit less bhp coming from a zzr , I had a gtr1400 and found I like the engine braking of a v twin , and over my favourite twisty mountain road the v strom is the quicker machine whereas the gtr was ok and great on the faster motorway .

[@barrydaly7174]

Most would seem "Gutless" after the ZZR. I'm struggling to understand what you were expecting 190 BHP lumpy old super sport tourer vs a comfortable all rounder if you were to compare the comfort weight handling etc I would get it. Engine power on The V strom is over 100 BHP with a top end at 135 mph and that's about the standard for "Tall rounders" but it's mid rev range where it's used most making it a relaxed ride for long journeys it has enough for the road but not the track. Similar to a Range rover. You wouldn't get out of Cosworth test drive a R, Rover and moan to the RR dealer about the Power difference. Horses for courses.

Nice vid Mav,glad Goose got sorted,are you looking for a new one now then Mav lol ;-0 Ride Safe Mr B \m/

[@funguseater40]

Looks good. Agree, the seat in my T7 is firm but that's a good thing. I always set the rev "flasher" to whatever the max torque is. Thanks for the review. Subscribed 👍

So different to his 2017 V Strom, this feels far more powerful

[@robertbates1079]

Think its 6bhp more but same chassis , brakes etc ,I prefer the screen on the older version , but a very underrated bike . 60 plus mpg too.

[@Motourev]

@@robertbates1079 I was very impressed, don’t know why but it seemed leagues ahead of the previous model

[@adrextreme1]

Nice tankbag,what is it? Thnks

[@millinutz]

That is nice, as you said. It's light, it's smooth, has good brakes, is comfy, and and and. But, that is a Suzuki you're on there Mav, what else can you expect? There is nothing better to be had atm... anywhere out there. There might be a close second place, the Tiger, but that is heavier and will leave a bigger hole in ya wallet. Well done and congrats to Goose on his excellent choice. PS, by the sound of all that heavy breathing in your helment before setting off, it sounded as if you were also getting a little excited there?

[@Motourev]

I had a blocked nose 😂😂👍🏻

[@victorway5503]

Sounds like a nice bike to ride, mind you I wouldn't be able to ride it if the seat height is higher than on yours, barely touch the floor on that! 🙈

[@Motourev]

😂👍🏻
