Suzuki launched the V-Strom 1000 in India in February, at the 2014 Auto Expo. The brand also makes a smaller-engined version – the V-Strom 650. The latter, however, is not in the offering for the Indian market at present due to customs regulations.
The V-Strom 1000 is powered by a 1037cc, V-twin, four stroke engine. This big displacement liquid cooled engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The dual purpose model offers an adjustable windscreen, inverted telescopic front forks, a rear monoshock and dual disc brakes at the front.
Even the India-spec model comes with ABS as standard. Suzuki is currently selling the V-Strom in two colours only: Candy Daring Red and Pearl Glacier White.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Price - ₹ 13,54,229 onwards (Ex-showroom, Mumbai). It is available in 1 version - Standard. See price of V-Strom 1000 in top cities: Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune and Bhopal.
