Suzuki's smaller V-Strom has proven to be a capable adventure bike, satisfying those who want to dabble in trail riding as well as using it for a touring bike. A re-tuned version of the SV650 V-twin gives it plenty of low end torque for the trail as well as enough power to cruise down the highway. Riders wanting to explore more off-road will want to invest in a robust skid plate, as the exhast and oil filter are vulnerable to rocks flying from the front tire.
