    Like you I'm 6ft 5. I have been happily riding my 2021 Silver and Blue V Strom 1050xt and I love it. When I sold my previous bike I was interested in the Tracer 9 which would undoubtedly be a top bike but when I sat on the 1050xt I thought this just fits an old bloke of my height to a tee. Never regretted buying it. It's comfortable, wonderful smooth punchy engine, rides like a dream and handles really well too. So far it's the best bike I've ever owned in 45 years of riding bikes.

    I'm currently riding a BMW R1200GS and looking seriously at this bike I've enjoyed my BM but want to change for a cheaper machine with good 'quality'. I ride in the EU every summer and this fits the bill with cruise and torque. When the weather warms up I'll geta test ride

    J'ai acheté la mienne en mars 2023... même couleur...Excellente bécane 👍.
    Pour un full options spécial roadtrip, j'y ai rajouté, un GPS TomTom rider et son support de charge alimenté en direct au démarrage de la moto, un support téléphone, deux feux additionnels, protections latérales Suzuki, un échappement MIIV homologué pour un top sonorité, un pare-brise Puig haut fumé, des protège mains SW Motech, garde-boue arrière, poignées chauffantes, un graisseur chaîne automatique Scottoiler, 2 valises trekker givi 33l et son topcase 52l noir, 2 déflecteurs supplémentaires givi, deux sifflets anti gibiers, stickers 3D divers, une protection carter bas moteur aluminium givi repeint en peinture époxy noire, sacoche réservoir Suzuki 11/20l sans oublier deux coussins gonflables SW motech pour pilote et passager.
    Déjà 9600kms effectués en duo avec madame sur petites routes en évitant les autoroutes au maximum. Grand confort, belle sécurité et un moteur excellent qui ne rechigne jamais. Le schifter est un délice.
    Heureux retraité de 64 ans, je ne regrette pas l'achat de ce vélo. 🍺✌️😎

    Great video Lofty & yes there great bikes. As you know I swopped my R1200r for my 1050XT which is the same bike minus the cast wheels, TFT dash, quick shifter etc but once i played with the suspension a but I didn't miss the BMW Active suspension at all. In fact of all the bikes I have had the 1050 was probably joint best bike, the only thing i didn't like was the seat BUT i might spend a bit more time in the saddle before a cake break than some my maxus glutus probably has a bit more ballast to carry than some too :-) ...... who knows if they sort the seat out never say never I might end up with one of these versions in the future & your right about the wheels, they will be a lot less PIA to clean than the spoke version ...

    Thank You for the great review! I recently have the prevoius model DL1050 from 2021, and now considering to order the same model You have tested. Why? technically it has already been proven for me, but the new model has all the features ive been missing so far.. what are they? quick shifter, cruise control, and TFT. Plus the amazing experice of sitting on a brand new bike..

    Great review thanks I have the XT version and I not going to trade it as I think its the sweet spot, lot of people need to realise the gs has a 19''[ front, the xt has spoked wheels the new DE version might have 21' front but its tubed for some reason only Suzuki can explain away where as the old XT has tubeless rims. its just really confusing to say they have up graded when the XT of old is clearly better than the standard vstrom 1050 latest , any way Im ranting lol no harm meant

    Thank you for a good test. I have a V-Strom 650. I am happy with it. I am considering a more powerful engine because my wife sometimes travels with me. But mostly I drive alone. I go on day trips, 150 - 200 km. I'm torn between the V-Strom 1050 and the NT1100, maybe the Vesrys 1000.
    What would you recommend? What would you choose? Thank you.👍

    • @theloftybiker3090
      @theloftybiker3090  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      As an NT11000dct owner I am very partial to that bike.......I'mn not a big fan of the Versys, it's very tall and heavy....I really like the 2023 Vstrom it's a vast improvment over the 22.....that said there are some cracking deals to be had with the 22.....A test ride is the only way to decide.....thanks for watching

    • @adrianwood3659
      @adrianwood3659 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      if you like the 650 strom you will love the 1050, having ridden the 1000 versys you might find the multi lack the character of the V twin, I found them quite bland & I used to be a big Kwak fan back in the day.
