VStrom unleashed | DL650 VStrom | RAW Onboard #1

[@BreezyRider66]

Thing is you can fully use the power that's available and have fun with it instead of expending your mental and physical energy keeping it reigned in like you would with a full on sports bike, that's what I appreciate about mine. That and the fact that you can throw a ton of luggage on and go pretty much wherever you want in comfort, at speed & even do a bit of off road. So for a mere mortal such as myself who can only have one bike, there exists nothing better. Mine's a lovely 2012 orange one!

[@StromerYoutube]

Powerwise it's not that great when you're riding in the alps(50km away from me). Uphill you run out of steam rather quick and above 1500m things only getting worse. And above 7k rpm my VStrom was a bit too thirsty with the oil...So for my kind of riding, the VStrom wasn't really the right bike.

[@wesstubbs3472]

I was comparing it to the 2007 Triumph Tiger. I'd have done that whole thing in 2nd gear. Which isn't as much fun. I'd like to see someone do this road on a super motard. You can have fun riding any motorcycle by simply pushing it to its limits.

[@Buzz.Scholz-vi1ed]

Bought an 07 650 with just 2,000km on it many years ago. 165,000km and counting now. Still goes great. I have never had an issue except for dirty fuel which wasn't the bike's fault. I just pulled the starter motor out the other day because of sluggish starting. After discovering the brushes getting worn down, I cleaned things up and reassembled it. Works like new, but I have ordered new brushes. Changed the front sprocket from 15 to 16 tooth with great results for open road cruising, without losing bottom end acceleration. I live on a dirt road between a national park and a national highway, and use 50/50 tyres. Lately they are shinko brand, but also like Metzler tourance. What can I say? Simply this. It's an awesome bike, with amazing reliability and snappy performance. Handing and comfort is all I need and more. Range and fuel economy is outstanding. I paid half new price for a barely used bike, and have enjoyed trouble free riding ever since. Happy trails

[@StromerYoutube]

Amazing! Hopefully yours goes another 160.000km!

[@Bok2022st]

I bought a 2008 in 2024 38000 km on clock the bike looks brand new absolute joy to ride it seems to be able to pull just about in every gear so if you don't downshift for some reason ,it will still pull in every gear regardless cost me 4,800 Australian dollar I love this thing. Hadn't really heard much about these bikes for some reason until I jumped off my GSXR 1000 due to uncomfortable riding position and getting older start to look for a cruiser with a more upright position this thing's fantastic

Nice ride. I have come to really appreciate my 650 V-Strom. It is a fun motorcycle despite being less than half the motor of my GTR1400 and B-King. I think it has to be one of the best motorcycles ever made. I have dropped it off road riding many times, it just keeps going. It is very comfortable, and has just enough power to do what you did in this video and put a smile on your face. My XT 2015 came with the big panniers and is extremely practical to pack for long trips.

I am going to get a Vstrom 650 for my dispatch job, I wonder if its a blast to ride this awesome bike in traffic, lane splitting, and would like to get your opinion.. :))

[@StromerYoutube]

Lanesplitting should't be too much of a problem, as the handlebar isn't that wide. The VStrom 650 is a bit top heavy tough....22l Liters of Fuel on a kinda "small" engine :D. From 2007 onwards it's also a bit heavier due to the ABS and some other things....If ridden slowly in traffic I got 3,7-4l/100km on mine.

Nice video and good sound . If I didn't already have a 650 Vstrom, your video would have made me want one. I re-entered the riding world after 30+ year hiatus and wanted something different than a cruiser. The ADV class was new to me especially the ability to go off road, and KZbin sold me on the Vstrom. I have a 2012 650 and I love it. I don't crank the RPMs like you, but I see you share the passion for yours like me. I may get a bigger touring bike for the wife and me, but I think I'll keep this for a long time for commuting and fun.

[@StromerYoutube]

Thanks! The VStrom is an awsome machine, but unfortunately it was a little to underpowered for my kind of riding. I swapped it for a KTM 1190 ADV T. Not that I "need" those 150 horses, but at least I don't have to wind it out every time I want to overtake someone.😁

@Arne Eide it's just the engine sound itself...a bit more agressive on the KTM, but the KTM V2 is also a short stroke engine from the RC8, so it revs very high for 1200cc(up to ~9600; max. Power is 100rpm below redline:D)

The Vstrom is mostly road oriented. If you wan't to do some offroad, be aware of the small ground clearance (only 16cm!) and absolutely install a bashplate for the engine. With the bashplate the exhaust isn't the lowest point anymore.

Hey there friend, nice video. I own a 2007 Wee myself and I was wondering if you were familiar with the problem regarding the two bolts that hold the front fairing to the mainframe loosening up or even coming completely loose (and lost), which would result in a rattling front fairing on speedbumps and sorts.

Blip the throttle before downshifting , not after

[@StromerYoutube]

Yea, I didn't really knew that back then. I hope I've improved until now...

@@StromerKZbin BTW I bought V Strom 650 2022 6 days ago. Fantastic adventure motorcycle!

@@asanrushid4981 True! The VStrom is a great allrounder!

[@MisterSuki]

Being in the US I never understood the restricted power crap.

[@StromerYoutube]

looking back at that time, I have to say, it makes sense...but the biggest impact on "saftey" are the reqired additional driving technique courses you have to take in austria within a year after you get the licence. (both, for cars and bikes)

[@MisterSuki]

@@StromerKZbin What is done to the bike to remove the restriction?

[@StromerYoutube]

@@MisterSuki In this case it was just a little "bracket" on the throttle body to restrict the movement of the throttle. On my Aprilia Shiver I had an ECU restriction, which got removed by the Aprilia Dealer back then.(flashing another software basically)

Schönes Video, gute Tonaufnahme ..... nur dein nervöser Schaltfuß stört

[@StromerYoutube]

Danke! Aber Nervös? Ich hätte gesagt: aktiv🙂

[@andyeberger639]

@@StromerKZbin - hyperaktiv! - du schaltest grundlos 2 Gänge runter, anstatt die Motorbremse zu nutzen, um dann diese 2 Gänge wieder hochzuschalten um in ein Drehmomentloch zu fallen weil du nicht ausdrehst.

Bellissimo video ma non sa scalare le marce. Soffro io per il motore e cambio...non è così che si scala!!

I assume you mean my downshifts? Yea I'm workin on them...

Try blipping the throttle on downshift... you motor will appreciate it in the long run my friend..

[@StromerYoutube]

I actually do that😉 Preload the gear lever and then at the same time let go the throttle and change the gear....did I miss something here or do you mean the sometimes not so perfect rev matching?

[@bobbygeorge6581]

Yes I noticed that you do it. Good luck mate I hope to buy a vstrom soon myself love it

So beschissen wie du fährst ist es besser wenn du bei 48ps bleibst.

[@StromerYoutube]

Troll doch wo anders herum....oder gibt's auch konstruktive Kritik?

[@musik100]

@@StromerKZbin Du solltest dringend an deiner Fahrlinie arbeiten. Und warum schaltest du vor jeder Kurve runter ? Auch mit 48ps läuft die V Strom nicht schlecht , sodass dass garnicht nötig ist.

[@StromerYoutube]

In dem Video hatte die VStrom gar keine 48PS mehr...und was du als gut gehen Einstufst empfinde ich halt anders. Was konkret hast du an meiner Fahrlinie gravierend zu bemängeln, außer das ich Rechtskurven manchmal weiter rechts beenden sollte? Beim Thema Sichere Fahrlinie hab ich immer ein offenes Ohr!

[@musik100]

@@StromerKZbin Ich kann dir einen guten Tip geben. Schau dir mal die Videos vom Varahannes an. In einigen erklärt er wieso und warum man so fahren sollte wie er es sagt.. Ist sehr Interessant. Ich fahre seid 30 Jahren Motorrad und dachte ich würde sicher fahren. Doch ich wurde eines besseren belehrt

Ich war im Frühling 2020 beim Training in Puchenstuben dabei! Leider kommt der innere Schweinehund immer wieder durch bei der Linienwahl. Ich konnte mir da auch nicht so viel im Kopf behalten da ich mich gleich zu Beginn auf die Nase gelegt habe....Bedarf definitv einer Wiederholung.
