Suzuki Dual Sport reviews

Bike is fun, fast, and all around super bike at an affordale price. Great for beginner or as a seasoned rider. Bike is nimble. There is a feeling about bikes that many people share. If a bike is exciting enough for an experienced, talented rider, it will be too intimidating or difficult to ride for a beginner/novice. On the other hand, if a bike is user-friendly enough for a beginner/novice, it will be boring for the experienced or talented rider. Overall, SV handling is very sweet indeed – far better than most expect, in fact, from a budget, middleweight machine. Steering is neutral and precise which, combined with the SV’s slimness and light weight makes it extremely nimble and entertaining. On the downside, the forks are a little underdamped and undersprung and the single rear shock is likely to be worn out and have lost damping by now. If you simply want a cheap commuter that may not matter much. On the other hand, the SV’s success in Minitwins racing means plenty of knowhow and upgrades are available Show less

Very fast bike, and for a sports bike , it has a comfortable ride . Live the option of having the back seat or the rear seat cowl as well. It’s also a good and comfortable ride for the person sitting on the back seat. Show less

I liked the comfy seat of this bike. Great for up to 3 hours riding. I also liked that the seat was low at 31", so easy to reach the ground. I got up to 55 mpg out of this bike. I liked the bigger fuel tank at 5.3 gallons versus 3-3,5 for some other bikes. Can go longer during filling up. I got 200-250 miles average per tank. Not much maintenance clean the carbs every 2 years along with regular oil changes. That's about it. Show less

I have had three V Strom 650s over the course of the past 10 years… All completely bulletproof and reliable. I have never had an issue whatsoever with any of them. This is my first 1000, but it has so far gone 30,000 miles with zero issues. Keep the tires inflated, change the brake pad when you need to, keep the oil fresh and I really think this thing would go 100,000 miles without any issues. Buying large these bikes are also easy to do your own maintenance on. If I had one complaint, the spark plugs, air filter and coolant would be easier to change. But if you have some tools, garage, space, and patience dot even these items are not difficult to do on your own. Seriously, a really great bike. I honestly don't see a reason why anybody would go for a more expensive brand while this Suzuki V Strom is still being manufactured. The Honda Africa twin would be a great alternative, it is several thousand dollars more expensive, but I do think it would be just as reliable. Everything else, BMW, Ducati, KTM, etc. etc. etc. all of those brands require a lot of maintenance and it is typically not maintenance that you can do by yourself, so you will end up spending easily $750-$1000 every year to keep the thing running for half as long as one of these Suzuki's. You'll not only save bunny on the purchase price, but you'll also save money while owning and maintaining. Show less

My bike now has over 1.500 miles on it. It’s vary reliable with no issues. Great quality and fit and finish. I have to ride seven miles to mountainous trails ride dirt roads and single track rocky trail and perform super. And ride the seven miles home , stay in drive mode and you will get about 35 miles I usually have at least 20% battery left. Mine Ultra Bee 🐝 is equipped with 21”/18”wheel set. And Surron’s street legal wiring harness/signal, and tail light kit. Also charge the rear sprocket from stock 46 tooth to a 50. Reducing the top speed down to 50 mph from 56. Usually run my ASR /traction control on one while riding on the single track trails . So far it’s belt reduction has not been an issue, nor haven’t even had to adjust it. All in all pleased with this little bike. With it, low seat height in capable dirt, suspension and brakes. Show less

Great power and acceleration. Best bike I've owned. Better than most bikes with double the displacement. Comfortable and good in the corners. Suzuki nailed it with this one. No complaints after 6000 miles. Harley's beware. This thing is the real deal. Show less

I Purchased this beast new on 1992. I had owned a 1982 gs 1100 s. Talk about another beast these standard where the foundation for the drag bikes of the day. That being said the 92 was a dream come true. Yes definitely heavy especially for being 5ft 8 in but never felt like i had any problems the seat height was the key. Still have it today with only 10.000 mile all original. Just have a stage 3 carb kit and after market pipe Vance and Hines. Great for touring. Will never sell it! Show less

Fell in love at first sight when I saw this bike at my local dealer. I bought it used with 14,000 miles on it. I've gone on some long trips, and shorter rides out on county roads near where I live outside Atlanta. Just a great overall bike. Shaft driven is smooth. Good response. Top in is limited to about 100 mph. (I ride with some speed demons) Plan on keeping it for a very long time. Show less
