The Invincible V-Strom



The venerable Suzuki DL 650 is a bike which "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" can possibly "stay from its appointed rounds." As a longtime Harley rider, I bought mine in '08 just to keep the miles off my FLH, and as a economical commuter/errand runner. I came to appreciate its sheer ugliness, relatively awesome performance, agile quickness and ability to take short sojourns off-road.


I believe this bike to be invincible.........well, almost!

  1. It's like he was expecting the people filming him to do something other than film him. Weird.

  3. Dude is clearly not an expert class adventure rider, dude was probably wishing the person with the camera would stop filming his unsightly attempt at transforming into a submarine.

  4. Funny part is that after it died dude kept hitting the starter (headlight dimming) thinking dude could power through, like the bike had gills.
    Duuuude!
