Ethnicity V-Strom 1000 has many features in common with the model DR750S, first introduced in 1988 - the first motorcycle company Suzuki, intended to drive, both on public roads and outside them.

Unfortunately, Suzuki is in no hurry to announce the official release date for the new model, but it is clear that the premiere of V-Strom 1000 will take place this fall - the exhibition Intermot or EICMA. So the wait is very long!
