2007 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 review from Canada
"Nice powertrain ruined by a poor design"
General comments?
Seat is brutal, but nothing compared to the typhoon the poorly designed fairing and useless windscreen produce. Ruins any enjoyment riding over 50 mph compared to real bikes.
Shouldn't have to rebuild half the bike to make it ride able. Take the shield off and it's a decent bike.
