Reliability of the motor itself is good but some owners have had ECU issues, which will probably have been sorted by now. The service intervals are every 4000 miles (technically 4000, 7500, 11,000 and then 14,500 miles) with the valve clearance check at 14,500-miles, although everyone does it at 15,000.
Does the Suzuki V Strom 650 have cruise control?

Is Suzuki V Strom fuel injected?

What’s the difference between a V-Strom and a Transalp?
In terms of out and out speed, not that important to me, the V-strom and Versys are both a bit faster than the Transalp and both have 6 speed boxes, so would be be better on the motorway. Both also have better fairings than the TA.
Is the Transalp a good bike?
On the go the Transalp is light years better than my old TA 600, could be a completely new bike, if it didn’t share so much design. Plenty of power, power delivery not quite as direct as the Versys or V-strom but good fun to ride.
How good is the handling on the Suzuki Transalp?
The handling of all three bikes was very reassuring, the Versys and TA being quite flickable, the V-strom being more stable with precise steering, similar to a more traditional road orientated machine. The quality of ride on the Transalp was the best, the Suzuki definately has budget suspension, with lots of clatter over rougher surfaces.
Is the V-Strom a good bike?
The V strom feels bigger than the 650 it is, with good engine with plenty of power but i found terrible buffeting above 60mph (i’m 6’1), brakes and ride pretty good.
