battery and some dodgy fuel, the bike hasn't ever let me down. It's quick off the mark and you can be as ham fisted with it as you like, and it will never tip you off the back. Starts to get a bit wheezy above 80-85mph, but will take you another 20-30mph

was better suited to the GSX-F in reality. I would suggest this as a great workhouse bike, not as great build quality wise as Honda's but I used to keep mine in tip top condition anyway. I liked it so much I'm looking for a cheapo project bike to fettle

. In town, the Suzuki is the fattest and not as lithe as the others at squeezing through the thinnest of gaps. The wider bars of the Yamaha and Honda certainly tip them the nod when it comes to swish-swashing through lines of stationary traffic. But the mini

miles Full Review: I don’t think I’ve ever ridden a bike that’s elicited more response to its looks than Suzuki’s new tool. Opinions varied from “ugh, it’s horrific, somebody shoot it!” to “quite nice innit? Just what Aprilia’s Caponord should’ve looked

as much of a surprise, I'm heading into a corner on Suzuki's new Hayabusa flat out in 6th gear after all...In the grand scheme of things I might be exaggerating a bit on this one. It's more of a kink than a full-blown corner, but when the speedo needle

In short:Suzuki's V-Strom really does have something to offer riders with a wide range of requirements. On top of its versatility, it's great fun Pros:Suzuki's V-Strom really does have something to offer riders with a wide range of requirements
