Suzuki V-STROM 800 2026 Parts & Accessories

Introduced in 2003 with the flagship DL1000, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 / 1050 Series established Suzuki's presence in the sport-adventure touring segment. Built around a liquid-cooled 90° V-twin engine derived from the TL1000 superbike, the original DL1000 combined high-speed long-distance touring capabilities with an upright riding position and lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame. Over multiple generations, the platform evolved significantly: receiving major updates in 2014 with increased displacement (1,037 cc) and traction control, adopting aggressive retro DR-Big-inspired beak styling in 2020 as the V-Strom 1050, and adding the off-road-oriented 1050DE model featuring a 21-inch front wheel, extended suspension travel, and off-road Gravel mode ABS.

Launched in 2004 as a middleweight sibling to the DL1000, the Suzuki V-Strom 650 (DL650) became one of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed adventure-touring motorcycles in industry history. Utilizing the bulletproof 645 cc 90° V-twin from the SV650, the DL650 was praised for its balance of fuel efficiency, smooth power delivery, agile handling, and long-range comfort. Spanning three major generations (2004–2011, 2012–2016 with updated styling and digital dash, and 2017–present featuring traction control and integrated beak styling), the series also introduced the spoked-wheel XT variant for light off-road exploration.
