SUZUKIV-Strom 1000 ABS 2013 - 2014

　　The 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS was released by Suzuki as a completely new machine, redesigned and re-engineered from head to toe.

　　The 2014 model featured a new and 13 percent lighter frame with 33 percent more tensional rigidity that rolled on a new suspension. The entire bodywork was updated, with the iconic dual headlights design replaced by a single unit with stacked reflectors. The front cowl got a beak with incorporated channels leading to the radiator for better cooling and heat management.

　　The seats and luggage system were revised and offered a long-range comfortable drive and functionality. The dashboard was also revised completely with new instruments and traction control setup buttons which were a first for any Suzuki motorcycle.

　　The 2014 ABS model came with a re-engineered engine, still based on the same 996cc engine used on the previous version, but with a 2 mm bore increase to reach its 1,037cc displacement. In addition, the engine got dual-sparkplug heads, a slipper clutch, new pistons, a new alternator, and a heavier flywheel.

　　The 1,037cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine was slightly more powerful than its predecessors, with a change in torque at the low-mid range rpm, with an output of 99 hp at 8,000 rpm and a 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm rather than 6,400 rpm on the previous mode.
