People kept asking for it after my “should you buy” CB750 video, so I finally sat down and did the most definitive (probably not) take on whether you should buy a 2014/2015 Suzuki V-Strom 1000—specifically through the lens of a taller rider. I’m talking real-world ownership stuff: how it fits, how it feels on actual rides, and the kind of bike it is when you’re not just staring at spec sheets on the internet. This one’s aimed at folks who want a do-it-all travel bike that can chew up miles, carry gear, and still be fun when the road gets interesting. I go over the big reasons the V-Strom 1000 makes sense, the bits that might annoy you, and the simple “who this bike is for” takeaway—because not everyone needs a 1000cc adventure-ish machine, and not every tall rider is automatically going to love it. If you’re cross-shopping or just trying to figure out if the V-Strom is the right tool for your trips, this video is basically me saving you a bunch of time (and maybe a bit of buyer’s remorse).
