The V-Stroms are super underrated, they don't do anything exceptionally well, but are super versatile if you want to tour with a detour on some dirt here and there, and are at an awesome price point compared to other bikes in the class.

I have a 2014 V-Strom 1000 and apart from the technical stuff it's done everything I've asked of it without issues.

Is your commute over the Himalayas?
