V-STROM 1050 TOURER

Suzuki, you've done it yet again! What a beast! 1850 miles, 8 countries over 10 days.  At first, I must admit, a touring holiday on a bike sounded like it could get pretty achy and I wasn't sure if it would be for me.  The panic about how little I would be able to take as I had never tried to pack my life in a 30 litre box for 10 days - it's normally a 30kg bag for 4 days... honestly, the best thing ever!

​

This bike has everything, not only does is it smooth, takes corners and twisties like a boss but looks ace too! Even with all the luggage even I could move it, which says a lot as I used to struggle moving a 125cc...

​

The bike is packed with features,  all bikes come equipped with the 3-piece aluminium luggage as standard, 19-inch cast front wheel with road focused tyres, generous rider and pillion seats, large adjustable screen, dedicated handlebars and footpegs provide comfort and long-haul on-road ability. Bespoke ergonomics, electronic rider aids, cruise control, quickshifter and full-colour TFT display offer even greater confidence and excitement on every journey!

​

Considering I was pillion for the journey and riding around 4/5 hours a day I was surprisingly comfortable - too comfortable in fact, I nearly had a few naps on more than one occassion... the boxes make the back almost like a little throne so you can lean back and tuck in, half the time Hayden forgot I was even there.

​

Next years tour is already in the calendar and hopefully get to use this bike again, we cannot recommend this bike enough, it was heaven!  Head over to socials to check out the tour and videos of the bike and its features!
