In 2013, Suzuki introduced the 2014 V-Strom 1000 ABS Adventure model at the AIMExpo show in Orlando, Florida. The model featured the all-new updates received by the 2014 base model and an extra adventure pack.
2014 Suzuki V-Strom ABS Adventure was a completely new bike at the time, compared with its predecessors. It received a new, lighter frame in a black-finished color and new suspension with a Tin plated front fork.
At the front of the bike, the dual headlights were replaced by a single headlight unit with stacked reflectors, and the front cowl was redesigned by adding a beak and integrated channels for better airflow to the radiator.
The instrument cluster was also revised, with added Traction Control Setup buttons which were a first for any Suzuki motorcycle.
The Adventure trim came with a skid plate, hand guards, a touring screen, sleek side cases, accessories bars, and engine guards mounted on each side of the engine.
The new engine was based on the same 996cc V-Twin as the previous model and got a 2 mm bore increase, reaching a 1,037cc displacement. It also got dual-sparkplug heads, new pistons, and a heavier flywheel.
The 2014 model was a little more powerful than its predecessor, with an output of 99 hp at 8,000 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm.
