2016 Suzuki V-Strom 1000GT announced

Suzuki Australia has announced the release of the V-Strom 1000GT – Grand Tourer edition. Suzuki says that the adventure motorcycle is meant for Australia with its vast distances and remote, rugged terrain.

The GT edition is equipped with Factory Suzuki 35litre top box, side case set, centre stand, lower engine cowling, crash bars, large touring screen, LED indicators, hand guards, decal set and an attractive tank protector.

The V-Strom 1000GT is powered by a 1037cc, 90-degree v-twin engine featuring Suzuki’s Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection delivering the throttle response needed when the roads get technical, plus top-end power needed for highway riding. The three-mode traction control system continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, and gets information from the throttle position sensor, the crank position sensor, and the gear position sensor. It reduces engine output when it detects wheel spin by adjusting ignition timing and air delivery.

“The GT-Grand Tourer model is simply the complete package, ready to ride away from the dealership with nothing more to add and represents the best value for money fully-equipped 1000cc adventure tourer on the market,” said Lewis Croft, National Marketing Manager, Suzuki Motorcycles.

The bike’s chassis uses an aluminium twin-spar frame, with fully adjustable 43mm inverted forks up front and a single-shock rear suspension that features rebound damping adjustability, plus a remote spring pre-load adjuster. It also has a three-way height and angle-adjustable windscreen.

Riders stay informed using an info-rich instrument cluster that includes an analogue tachometer and a brightness-adjustable LCD speedometer. LCD readouts include an odometer, dual trip meters, the gear position, the coolant and ambient temperatures, the voltage, the riding range, the average fuel consumption, the instantaneous fuel consumption, the traction control mode, a fuel gauge, and a clock.

The 2016 Suzuki V-Strom 1000GT is available for a price of $19,990 (Rs 10 lakh) in metallic mystic silver, candy red and metallic matte grey colour schemes and is backed by Suzuki’s two-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
