Demonstrator Sale
introducing the Suzuki V-STROM 1050RJ that carries over all the strengths of the previous model, while adopting new or updated features that further heighten riding enjoyment, comfort and utility.

The V-STROM 1050RJ introduces features aimed at improving performance on unpaved surfaces, and include for the first time a ground-breaking flagship model dedicated to maximising off-road performance with a 21-inch front wheel, switchable ABS and a special gravel traction control mode.

In addition to the 21-inch front wire-spoked wheel, Gravel traction control mode and the means to switch off ABS at the rear, the V-STROM 1050RJ further differentiates itself from the V-STROM 1050RR with a longer wheelbase, wider handlebars, steel foot pegs, less aggressive steering geometry, a stronger drive chain, solid-mount seat, aluminium engine protection, new front fender and a standard-equipment protection bar.

The V-STROM 1050RJ also has longer suspension travel and more ground clearance than its sibling, as well as a smoke sports windscreen for maximum visibility.

Universal V-STROM 1050 family features include a new bi-directional quickshifter and five-inch TFT screen, updated cruise control, a slightly stiffer twist action on the ride-by-wire electronic throttle for a more natural feel, and revised ratios for first and sixth gears. Theres also vertically stacked LED lighting and USB/12V charging portals.

Other electronics employed on the V-STROM 1050s under the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) umbrella are the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), Suzuki Easy Start System, Low RPM Assist, Combined Brake System and Hill Hold Control.

Powered by Suzukis venerable 1037cc 90-degree V-twin (79kW/100Nm) carried over from the outgoing V-STROM 1050XT, but now with hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves to help reduce combustion chamber temperatures, the V-STROM 1050 is built to perform, go the distance, and get you to your destination in comfort.
