This bike has the same engine as my bike (SV650) so I know it's a winner. I have no problem with the looks either. I know it has it's weak areas. For example the brakes and suspension are not the highest quality, adequate but there's room for improvement there. Great bang for the buck. I vote cool.

It works for many basic reasons, but is ugly for all the practicality it offers and completely uncool.

ya cant have it all on a budget in a capitalistic world... because every good thing has a price in the biz...

(note: naked SV, as above, with standard headlight or the mini bikini fairing is a cooler option... because it throws away a few things the V-strom offers... and LESS is MORE).

For Sale: Ninja 600 with parts bike, needs minor work, $30, no title... (GEE THAT DOESNT RING ANY WARNING BELLS DOES IT?)

TIE VOTE!

Well, you can't say that the 2011 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS isn't controversial as the vote ended in a tie, our very first one in fact. Thus, the higher category wins. (Although that almost automatically puts the vote at the lowest % of that higher category).

Awesome 38%
Cool 38%

Great debate, great vote and great job guys and girls on this one.

Next bike:

2011 Piaggio MP3 500
