Is V-Strom Really an Adventure Motorcycle?
written by sideout
As my previous post suggests I am strongly considering buying a used 650cc V-Strom. Probably I will never do really tough off-road excursions. But it is always nice to know what your noble steed is capable of. Today I found this video on youtube that provides proof that a V-Strom could easily go amphibious. A quality definitely worthy of being called an adventure motorcycle, don’t you think?
You realize that it died, and he likely killed the motor cranking it like that while sucking water through the intake? He was pushing it out.
But any bike would do that. The V-Strom is well capable enough for most of us

If this video proves anything it’s two things:
V Strom cannot do deep water crossings
The rider is an idiot
