It has been manufactured in Japan by Suzuki since 2002,[1] although sales in Europe ended in 2009.[2] The name V-Strom combines "V" referring to the bikes engine configuration with the German "Strom", meaning stream or current.
The V-Strom motorcycle is based on the V-twin engine initially designed for the Suzuki TL1000S and TL1000R motorcycles. It incorporates design elements from other Suzuki motorcycles including Fuel Injection based on the GSX-R models. A smaller-engined version, V-Strom 650 is also manufactured.
Kawasaki marketed an identical version of the bike named the KLV1000 in Europe.
