A new model of the V-Strom series was released in 2011 by Suzuki. The model carried on the acclaimed features of the bike since the first day of its release in 2002. The newly launched model combined the sporty, street-oriented nerve of its v-twin engine with the comfort and long-range-minded ergonomics and suspension.

Its history started in 2002 as a dual-sport motorcycle with a 996cc engine and a standard riding posture. Over the years, it gathered more updates and became a real adventure-touring machine.

The 2011 model holds in its aluminum twin-spar frame a 996 cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine generating a power of 98 hp at 7,400 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque at 6,400 rpm. Packed with a six-speed manual transmission and a wet weight of 236 kg (520 lbs), the model hits a top speed of 207 kph (128 mph).

All motorcycles from the V-Strom 1000 family, including the 2011 model, feature the frame, rear frame covers, swingarm, and wheels in a black finish set as a standard in 2005 for future models.

For suspension, the model packs a telescopic fork with adjustable preload and 160 mm wheel travel on the front and an adjustable monoshock with 163 mm of wheel travel on the rear.

The 2011 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 gets its braking from two 310 mm discs on the front, a 260 mm disc on the rear, and an optional ABS.
