08-10-2012: Suzuki’s Future Is Here

A glimpse into the future is what Suzuki is giving when they released photos of the V-Storm 1000 adventure tourer concept.

“Suzuki Motorcycles changed the adventure touring category forever when it developed the V-Strom 650 and introduced to the world an incredibly versatile, comfortable and fun-to-ride motorcycle,” said Perry Morison, General Manager, Suzuki Motorcycles.

“Our two V-Stroms, the 650 and 1000, are amongst the Australia’s best-selling adventure tourers and we are very excited about the release of a concept V-Strom 1000 as it shows the future direction of this popular model and of our organisation.”

The current V-Strom 1000′s engine has been totally redesigned in this concept motorcycle to focus on rider-friendliness and features a 1,000cc power plant which produces effortless acceleration along with a strong and distinctive V-Twin rumble.

The slim and lightweight aluminium frame, thickly padded seat and an adjustable windscreen make the V-Strom 1000 Concept fun and easy-to-ride, whether it is cruising the streets or exploring outback roads.

For enhanced rider confidence when braking, the V-Strom 1000 Concept features a performance-inspired radial mount front brake caliper and an Antilock Braking System (ABS) to ensure ultimate traction on the road in all weather conditions.

The V-Strom 1000 Concept is also equipped with an advanced traction control system for enhanced sport riding, performance and the peace of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence.

The suspension has been totally overhauled with the V-Strom 1000 Concept featuring an inverted front fork and easy-to-adjust single shock style rear suspension.

Inspired by the 1988 DR750S, Suzuki’s first big adventure tourer, the V-Strom 1000 Concept features bold and distinctive styling to create an unmatched presence.

The V-Strom 1000 Concept features an all-new luggage system which provides easy installation, a narrow overall width when installed and a clean look when detached.
