85,000 Mile Long Term Review Suzuki V-Strom DL1000

A review of my Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 motorcycle after long term ownership. I have owned this bike since it was nearly new and now have over 85,000 miles on it. I share my thoughts as well as do a valve tappet clearance compression tests to see how the engine is holding up. This bike is the same design as the DL 650, SV1000, SV650 and TL1000.
