Suzuki is once again poised to redefine the two-wheeled adventure game with their 2023 V Strom 1050 Adventure Series. This motorcycle, which fuses powerhouse performance with advanced technology, is a testament to Suzuki's unwavering commitment to innovation and their long-standing tradition of two-wheeled excellence.
The V Strom 1050 retains Suzuki’s iconic rally-beak aesthetic, a nod to their proud motorcycle lineage including the renowned Dakar Rally bikes and the DR-Big large-displacement DualSport machines. This dual-sport adventure motorcycle bears a challenging and rugged outlook that's not just for show, but for the long adventurous ride.
At its heart, the V Strom 1050 is powered by a robust 1037cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, 90° V-twin engine. This engine delivers impressive pull in the lower rpm range and complies with worldwide emission standards without compromising on power. Coupled with the bike's 6-speed constant mesh transmission, you're in for an exhilarating ride.
However, the magic doesn't stop there. The V Strom 1050 also incorporates the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), enhancing the riding experience with features like cruise control and a bi-directional quick shift system. One standout feature within this system is the Motion Track Brake System, which activates ABS when the bike is leaning through a corner, providing even greater stability and peace of mind.
Complementing the technology is a user-friendly 5-inch color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel with a clear display that remains legible even under bright sunlight or at night. In addition, a USB port is conveniently located next to the instrument panel for charging smartphones or powering GPS units.
The V Strom 1050 continues Suzuki's tradition of nimble and sturdy narrow chassis design. The twin-spar aluminum frame not only contributes to optimal handling but also allows riders to reach the ground more easily. The motorcycle also boasts of a fully adjustable inverted fork with radially mounted four-piston brake calipers, adding to the user’s control and comfort.
With a curb weight of 242 kg, permit me to say, the V Strom 1050 is not a lightweight in the industry—literally and figuratively speaking. Expect to ride your adventures out with this metallic reflective blue and matte black beast, carrying over two decades of Suzuki’s experience in combining power, convenience, and style.
At a cost of $15,199 MSRP, the 2023 Suzuki Motorcycle Adventure Series V Strom 1050 sets a benchmark in the adventure motorcycle segment. Whether on rugged terrains or tarmac roads, the V Strom 1050 stands ready to conquer all, living up to its well-earned reputation for Suzuki's commitment to excellence and passion in motorcycle design and engineering.

FEATURES
The V-STROM 1050’s Adventure-themed styling retains Suzuki’s original rally-beak look, paying homage to past Suzuki Dakar Rally bikes and the DR-Big large-displacement DualSport.
Perfect for the long haul, the 1037cc, V-twin engine produces more horsepower than ever before, retaining its strong pull in the lower-rpm range, delivering good fuel economy while complying with worldwide emissions standards.
Poised to support any riding mission, the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) now includes cruise control, a bi-directional quick shift system, as well as the Motion Track Brake System that allows ABS** activation when the bike is leaning through a corner.
5-inch color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel features a display that is clearly legible at nighttime or in bright sun. A USB port to the side of the instrument panel supplies power for smartphones or other accessories like a GPS.
The V-Strom’s narrow and nimble chassis legacy continues with a durable, twin-spar aluminum frame that helps the rider’s legs reach the ground more easily, while balancing weight and rigidity for optimal handling on all types of roads.
The fully adjustable, inverted fork holds radially mounted four-piston brake calipers that grasp dual brake rotors mounted to a 19-inch cast-aluminum front wheel as the 17-inch rear wheel rides in an aluminum swingarm controlled by a link-style shock adsorber with a hand-operated, hydraulic spring preload adjuster.
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
