Met a buddy for lunch. I rode my ST, he rode his Suzuki Vstrom 1000. Adventure bike supposedly. Dang that thing is tall, and it's geared to the moon, we only got up to 60 so I never got out of 3rd gear and his is geared down 1 tooth on front up 2 teeth on rear.... and it shudders like a Harley whenever you are accelerating. Very top heavy, there is no WAY I'd take that thing off road.

On the plus side it had great ergos, shifted nice, decent air management, nice suspension, decent brakes.

Don't tell him I said this, but it is NOT an attractive thing. Undecided

Anyone else ridden one?
