My favourite would be something like this, but Suzuki aren't so big in Dubai and I doubt they'd do a custom paint job like Ducati would.

Plus Suzuki dont do an ADV apart from the V Strom which are about the most vanilla thing going. That paintjob would have been on the old DR Big 800 but only rumours Suzuki are looking at bringing it back so far

Tbf...I'm quite liking both of them. It's funny how first impressions change. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm trying hard to like the motard. Googled more images, but it's not quite what I want.
And I'd need more than 73 gee gees. I had that when I was 18 :obscene-birdiedoublered:

I see Suzuki are doing a V Strom in Marlboro colours with a DR800 style beak, they look alright

I'm desperate for some sort of two wheeled discussion but there is nothing happening with new bikes that even gets me close to buying anything until this comes out.
Don't need to be buying something to have discussions :)
