It's been around for quite some time now. There's something not quite right about the way it looks....

Suzuki never quite get it right... Lots of it is pretty good but they seem to have employed the guy sacked by Honda for the CrossDresser to style the front end fairing/beak... The big thing will be the engine as the old V Strom had a great engine but things have moved on a bit since then...

PS I do realise this is the restyled pic...

I think it'll be very price sensitive. If it's over £10k it'll struggle, just like the Yamaha S10 until the dealers find the price the market will stand.

With the TL1000 engine in it, but updated for emissions etc, it has great potential for being an exciting bike. For me the 650 hits the spots, but a test ride on the new one might be sensible
