Japanese motorcycle
The Suzuki V-Strom 1050, also known as the DL1050 (RQM0 - RQM1), is a dual-sport motorcycle with a 1037 cc V-twin engine and a standard riding posture. It has been manufactured in Japan by Suzuki since 2020, as the replacement of the Suzuki V-Strom 1000. The DL1050 was unveiled in 2019 at EICMA by Suzuki and is inspired by the styling of the Suzuki DR-Z series models.
The name V-Strom combines "V" referring to the bike's engine configuration with the German "Strom", meaning stream or power.
The V-Strom motorcycle is based on the V-twin engine initially designed for the Suzuki TL1000S and TL1000R motorcycles. It incorporates design elements from other Suzuki motorcycles including fuel injection based on the GSX-R models. 2 smaller-engined versions, the Suzuki V-Strom 250 and Suzuki V-Strom 650 are also manufactured. The DL1050's engine is almost identical to the engine of the 2013 - 2019 model, except now modified to comply to EURO5 emission standards.
Changes from previous model.
The V-Strom 1050 had been fully redesigned for 2020 and is inspired by the styling of the Suzuki DR-Z series or more specifically, the Suzuki DR-Z Dakar and Dual-sport Suzuki DR-BIG. The lines in the bodywork are sharper and the beak-like front cowl is now fully incorporated in the fairings. Also the 2020 V-Strom 1050 has several technological improvements. It has drive by wire dual electronic throttle assemblies, a traction control system with four sensitivity modes, a three-mode Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) and an Easy Start System. The instruments are displayed on a new full LCD dashboard.
