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).

The Votes are VERY close! Keep voting today is the LAST day for your votes to count on the Final Cool Wall vote. You can STILL vote after and the votes will keep adding up here though.

Tomorrow (FRIDAY) is a new bike!

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

A little late but here's a link to an article about the somewhat redesigned 2012 V-Strom.
