A few days ago hear that the new Suzuki V-Strom 1000 was ready to be presented in the next Hall of Milan, now we can see it up in a spy photos published by the American Motorcyclist web. As seen in the pictures one of the test pilots Suzuki wheel with what looks like the final version, the only thing left to renovate.

The new V-Strom uses a revised version of the twin-cylinder engine to 90 degrees which was already riding. What is new is the dual beam chassis, also sub chassis and all plastics, which include the “duck beak” very front line of its current competition.
