Overview
The Suzuki DL 1000 V Strom is an adventure motorcycle produced from 2002 to 2003. For 2003, it uses a liquid-cooled 996 cm³ four-stroke V-twin producing 97 hp (72 kW) and 101 Nm of torque; wet weight is 236 kg.
The 830 mm seat height may make flat-footed stops harder for shorter riders, while the 236 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. Its 160 mm front and 162 mm rear suspension travel help absorb uneven surfaces, and the rear suspension's preload and rebound damping can be adjusted. The 22 L fuel tank gives it that much capacity between fill-ups; its chain final drive needs lubrication and adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong torque
The 101 Nm output gives the 996 cm³ V-twin substantial pulling force.
Adjustable rear suspension
Preload and rebound damping adjustment lets riders tune the rear suspension to suit their needs.
Suspension travel
The 160 mm front and 162 mm rear travel help the wheels follow uneven ground.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speeds
At 236 kg wet, the motorcycle can take more effort to maneuver slowly or push around by hand.
830 mm seat height
The seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet flat on the ground at a stop.
Chain final drive
The chain requires periodic lubrication and adjustment.
