Recently purchased this bike and would like to share my opinion about this bike. For riders looking for their first big adventure bike, the Suzuki V Strom 650XT may not have the hardware, performance or capability of, Trium Tiger 800 or a Honda Africa Twin, but the V Strom 650 scores big is in affordability and easy accessibility. The bike returned fuel efficiency figures of around 23 kmpl. Not exactly frugal, but with a 20 litre fuel tank, that could make you go a long way between tankfuls. There is little to complain about this sweet nature ADV, and it's easy to understand why it's so popular globally, as long as you understand and accept its strengths and limitations.
