It's the end of the line for well over half of the Suzuki models. V-Strom being one of them. They will still be building the 650 though.
Please look at the 2020 model lineup and you will see it is missing.I don’t see anywhere in your link they’ve been discontinued?
Actually the Busa' is a fantastic platform for the dragstrip and speed runs. It is one of the cheapest bikes to modify in order to get past the ever eluding ton.Surprised they still sell the Hayabusa, can't imagine there's a market left for that.
I like the busa, but outside of drag racing, and the stretch swingarm show guys, I don't know what market there is for it. Would be curious to see sales figures for it. It's also over a decade old now.Actually the Busa' is a fantastic platform for the dragstrip and speed runs. It is one of the cheapest bikes to modify in order to get past the ever eluding ton.
It is an old model at that. It's really a bummer that Suzuki is seeing such a slump in sales. It's so bad they have decided bring back the Katana. Thats a 38 year old model that was discontinued in 2006. Ironically the Katana was 100% German engineered by Target Designs.I like the busa, but outside of drag racing, and the stretch swingarm show guys, I don't know what market there is for it.

The way I see it, Suzuki is killing themselves by recycling engines and bikes with only minor changes. They're not investing R&D into completely new engines and platforms, just throwing new paint and minor changes on old bikes.It is an old model at that.

Hmmm I’m missing something, I follow your link, hit the 2020 model lineup and it shows Vstrom in the adventure bike category? Motorcycle mag and and a couple other show the Vstrom coming back in 2020. They just redesigned this a few years ago, I can’t see them not milking it for a few more years.Please look at the 2020 model lineup and you will see it is missing.
I think you're seeing the Katana bit wrong. Retro is in and Suzuki needs to compete. Look what BMW is doing with the R nineT.It is an old model at that.

The 650 V-Strom only for 2020Hmmm I’m missing something, I follow your link, hit the 2020 model lineup and it shows Vstrom in the adventure bike category?

I'm only passing on information from Suzukis introduction to the 2020 models. It might be possible they could add the 1000 V-Strom later. But it would seem odd to me. Maybe they are coming out with a new 1000 model later in the year? I'm not much for "google search info". The internet is so full of BS it's hard to sift through the truth. I figure the official Suzuki website is pretty reputable. That's why I posted it here.Google search says nothing about the Strom being discontinued. But several hits talk about a complete re-design for the 1000. I really like the DL1000 Strom, almost.....alllmost as much as the Tenere. I've had three of them.
