Compared to the outgoing V-Strom 1000 XT there's a power hike of 7 bhp just 500 rpm higher up the rev range, Euro 5 tweaks, new styling, a new screen, new LCD dash and full LED lighting but it weighs 19 kg more and maximum torque is now 2,000 rpm higher.

It builds on the £10,000 base spec 1050 with the electronics package, wire-spoked wheels, handguards, engine bars, Aluminium under cowling, LED indicators, a hand adjustable screen over 50 mm, the height adjustable seat, centre stand and 12V socket although it's 11 kg heavier.

The wire-spoked 19" front wheel takes a Bridgestone Battlax Adventure 110/80 tyre and the rear 17" a 150/70.
