Is the V-Strom 650 good offroad? Traveling the world with a V-Strom 650 and my offroad experience.

People always tell me the Suzuki V-Strom 650 is not good offroad, and i do not agree. It's important to think about what offroad means in the sense of adventure travel, while traveling the world extreme offroad is off the table. It's simply too risky to do the extreme offroad riding, you risk the entire trip and emergency services can be very far away. The V-Strom 650 offroad is not a dirt bike, but it gets the job done. Never on my trip so far have the V-Strom 650 been the limiting factor offroad.

The cons of the V-Strom 650 offroad:
× Can't turn off the ABS
× Heavy
× Bad tires from factory

The pros of the V-Strom 650 offroad:
× Smooth power delivery
× Durable
× Cheap parts if anything brakes

My favorite modifications to my V-Strom 650:
× Givi Airflow adjustable windscreen, model specific to the DL650
× Baja Designs Squadron Pro 40w Adventure bike kit
× Offroad tires, Heidenau K60 Scout
× SW-Motech crash bars for the V-Strom 650xt 2017+
× Luggage system, SW-Motech Trax panniers and rack specifically for the Suzuki V-Strom 650 2017+
