Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Concept

Suzuki unveiled the V-Strom 1000 concept touring bike at the 2012 Intermot show in Cologne, Germany. The V-Strom 1000 concept takes its design inspiration from the 1988 DR750S, the company's first adventure tourer. However, other than the basic design similarity the V-Strom 1000 is a completely new bike.
