Get Excited for the 2020 Suzuki Lineup

No Van-Van?
Unfortunately not. Suzuki ended the VanVan and TU250X in the U.S. and Canada
I’ve been buying street bikes since 1979 and I don’t see one bike in your lineup that remotely interests me. I’ll keep my 2008 Honda VTX 1800F with it’s 110,000 miles any day.
The new Katana definitely has my eye, but I have to admit that I’m more a Yammie guy than a Suzuki guy.
The new V-Strom 650XT Adventure has my eye. I currently have a Triumph Tiger Explorer, but I’m feeling the need to downsize and move toward something more off-road capable. Don’t know if this iteration of the Wee-Strom is gonna fill that bill – especially compared to, say, the KTM 790 or the new Triumph 900?
Jim will advocate for the KTM emphatically, but I’ll let him tell you that 😉
Hi Christopher!
I’m not going to bash the Wee Strom or the new Tiger 900 as I haven’t ridden either bike and I know there are plenty of loyal fans out there of either machine.
Comparing the new 790 Adventure S, R or the coming Rally model to either bike just isn’t apples to apples in my mind. The KTM is just so much better off road and the tech package on it is top shelf. In every comparison I’ve watched the reviewers almost feel embarrassed for comparing other bikes to the R model when it comes to off road.
There are no bad bikes out there on the market. All of them are terrific at getting riders around, but for me the 790 makes it almost effortless. I’m finally getting around to writing my long term review of the 790 adventure S that I put 5500 miles on last year now and hope to publish soon. For me the 790 R is the bike of the year for 2019 and it will win again in 2020. When I ride it off road I often feel like I’m riding a 450 enduro because the center of gravity is so low on it and it feels about 100lbs lighter than it is. The only time it feels big is when I ride down very steep hills. Then it feels like what it is– a 450lb wet adventure bike.
It’s just as good on the highway too. I’ve done long days where I’ve averaged 80mph on asphalt with no problem. The bike feels like a small sport bike when it has the right tires on it.
The only bike that will dethrone this adv model will be the Husqvarna 901 Norden when it finally arrives in 2021 I believe.
The only downside to the 790 is the price. The Wee Strom and in particular the Yamaha Tenere 700 are much less money to buy and will get the job done for anyone in reality. But if you want the thoroughbred racehorse that will wow you every chance it gets, look no further than the 790 Adventure.
End rant! lol
So… you’re gonna get a wee strom are ya?
What we have here is a failure to communicate, Martel. lol
I would buy the Yamaha T7 over the V-Strom 650.
… but you can’t do that until 2021 in North America, unfortunately.
Hey Jim. The Yamaha Canada website indicates summer of 2020 delivery. Get your deposit in!
You’re right Alan, I keep forgetting the 21 model year comes out the year before.
The T7 intrigues me, but not enough to swap out my 790 for it.
Listen Pruner, when you give something a nickname that starts with “Wee”, I assumed there was a bit of personal ownership involved 😉
hahaha, I only wish I had been the clever word-wizard to have bestowed the “Wee-Strom” moniker.
That nickname is older than all of your short-guy jokes combined, Cam. 😉
The 400cc Bergman has my wife’s eye. And I’m definitely interested in seeing the new Katana!
It looks awesome! I’m hoping to get on one this spring 🙂
Off bikes now, after 19 yrs, due to old age ?. Last bike was a ’15 vstrom 650c abs with givi topbox. All stock, low cost tuneups, fun to ride.
Earlier, had ridden intruder 800, followed by intruder 1500, both enjoyable and cheap to maintain. Imho all the japanese bikes are pretty much a good value.
after the two suzi cruisers i garaged a kawi vulcan 1500 and a ninja 650. More woot, woot. ?
I understand the Burgman 650 will no longer by made? Executive.
Just got off a Goldwing, leg issues, looking for something lighter, but I can still tour on
I own a 2013 Boulevard C90 BOSS. I love the blacked-out presentation. The V-twin engine is not overbearing but it will get to 100+ mph in a zip! I would try the M109 but it’s only designed for one rider.
I am loving my 2007 Burgman 650. I have had it a year now (June), and love it. A bit different than my 1981 Honda CB750K, esp in handling. Love the 40+ mpg.
