2018 Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT Specifications Overall, the V-Strom 1000 is a very good, very capable bike. A few small, personal tweaks would make it near perfect. Does the V-Strom meet the moniker, Sport Adventure Tourer? Yes, yet it’s none of the above. It has aspects of all, yet none enough to be considered all of one. The Suzuki V-Strom is a very good Sports Tourer, with a good degree of Adventurer thrown in.
