(Suzuki will offer GT packs on its V-Strom range, internationally)The 2017 V-Strom 650 gets a weight reduction of 1 kg and gets a bunch of features such as 12V DC outlet, heated grips and extra luggage options. The V-Strom 1000 on the other hand, gets cornering ABS, which is a first for any Japanese adventure motorcycle. Additionally, the bike also gets a three-mode traction control system, low RPM assist and the easy-start system. The windscreen on the bike has also been tweaked and the body-work gets subtle tweaks as well.
Suzuki does offer the V-Strom 1000 in India but not the V-Strom 650. As far as the GT pack is concerned, there is no confirmation on whether Suzuki will offer the same in India or not. In case they do, expect the prices to go up marginally.
