Suzuki V-strom 1050 Xt

The Suzuki V-strom 1050 Xt has a top speed of 210 km/h, produces 107 hp and weighs 247 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.

Le V-Strom 1050 XT a été introduit en 2020 en tant que refonte significative de la longue lignée V-Strom 1000, qui remonte elle-même à 2002. La refonte de 2020 a apporté un moteur bicylindre en V révisé de 1 037 cm3, une électronique mise à jour, notamment l'ABS et le contrôle de traction en virage, et une esthétique plus axée sur l'aventure inspirée des légendaires motos de rallye DR-Z. La variante XT est dotée de roues à rayons métalliques, de protège-mains et d'un protège-moteur, ce qui la rend particulièrement populaire auprès des amateurs de tourisme et d'aventure tout-terrain léger.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔧

Bulletproof Engine Legacy

The 1050cc V-twin engine is derived from Suzuki's TL1000 lineage and is known for exceptional long-term reliability, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine maintenance.

⚠️

Watch the Final Drive

Some owners report premature chain and sprocket wear, particularly if the bike is ridden two-up or loaded frequently — inspect these components carefully on used examples and budget for earlier-than-average replacement.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The V-Strom 1050 XT holds its value well due to high demand in the adventure touring segment, with used examples often retaining 75–85% of their original price within the first two years.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.2/10
Idéal pour
Touring riders wanting reliable, unfussy adventure capability

"The sensible adventurer's choice that rarely disappoints experienced riders."

$8,500-$12,500 used

The V-Strom 1050 XT is one of those bikes that makes complete sense the longer you live with it. The 1037cc parallel-twin pulls hard from low revs without being theatrical about it — you're making serious progress before you've even thought about it. The XT package adds wire-spoke wheels, which genuinely matter if you're planning any gravel work, plus a slightly taller screen and handguards that earn their keep in winter. Check the throttle bodies for carbon buildup on anything pre-2022 and inspect the chain and sprockets — owners who tour hard sometimes neglect drivetrain maintenance. Luggage mounts and frame sliders are worth verifying too. Used examples are genuinely solid. Suzuki's build quality here is honest and unpretentious — nothing fails dramatically, though the switchgear feels dated compared to BMW or KTM rivals. The cornering ABS and traction control work unobtrusively rather than brilliantly. For the money you'll pay used, nothing else offers this breadth of capability.
