I actually like all of the colors they have shown for the new 2014-DL1000 ABS. I think the Glass Sparkle Black will be my choice as the favorite. I'm a fan of black motorcycles. I'm glad that will be the color for the USA Adventure Model VEE2. I think the Black looks exceptionally nice with the Factory Bags. I have voted by putting a Deposit down on the Adventure with my excellent local Suzuki Dealer. Looking forward to riding my Fox Orange 2012-DL650 'til then.

 

I really like all the colors. The white looks like a police vehicle-cool. Black is always sharp. The khaki color is classy. The red a hint of Italian flair. No color will be a deal breaker. I will see when my dealer gets his allotments. My dealer said he gets the hype and has ordered a bunch of the V2's.:thumbup:

 

For those interested in the new DL1000 for 2014 what is your favourite colour?

I know that not all colours will be available to all regions, but that aside, vote for what colour you like the best.

Will it be -


Pearl Glacier White

I am waiting to see what colours will be released in Australia as I really like the Glass Desert Khaki

The WHITE of course!!

Everyone knows that the White is the best:yesnod:

You should count yourself lucky that you get to ride around with me on my white bike :mrgreen::mrgreen:

 

It looks like the Vee2 will be similar to the Wee2 in that if you don't like the color it will be relatively easy to swap plastics with somebody else, or just paint them. Much easier than the older Vee and Wee designs.

So who's the Photoshop expert here that is going to show what these would look like in other custom colors? No doubt we'll see a couple of guys paint them military green and there's always those who will go with Classic Suzuki Yellow (or blue).

A bit rudimentary, but here is a quick mock up. When I have more time I can do them better, but it gives an idea. :yesnod:

Must admit, I have never been a big fan of yellow, but on this bike it looks really good, almost makes it like a big DRZ or RMZ/X :thumbup:

 

It doesn't look like white is going to be available next year, so I will settle for red. Since I don't plan on buying until late summer or fall, I may wait and see what the color options for 2015 will be.

 

Red, White, Black look fantastic.

I really want Blue though. Maybe that's the 2015 model hmm?

Kawi Green would be pretty nice too.

Really there is only color on two places on this bike. The Tank and the beak. Nowhere else, so it should be easy to change colors with vinyl. :thumbup:

 

Stormtrooper all the way, amigos. Gimme that B&W color scheme!

 

Take the yellow one, Remover the grab bars and rear sub frame and have them powdercoated to match. that would be sex on a stick right there.


I'd Ride Dat in Da rain!

 

Something like this! :thumbup:

I present the DL-Z 1000 :mrgreen:

 

On the same Off-Road theme, I have always like the colour scheme on the original DRBIG 750.

Suzuki have made no secret that they used the DRBIG as inspiration for the new 1000, so I decided to mock up the new bike in the colours of it's predecessor for a bit of fun:thumbup:

ORIGINAL:

NEW 1000 MOCK UP:

Very retro :yesnod:

 

:thumbup::thumbup:

 

Yellow. A Suzuki is supposed to be yellow. It's the law.

But given the choices, I'd go for the Khaki for sure; if, that is, I actually saw $13,000 in that bike...which, well, I don't.

JET

 

If I could think of a single good reason to DX my '07, which I can't, I'd go for the khaki.

 

Looks like it Candy Red & Pearl White for Australia according to the Suzuki Australia website:

Specifications | 2014 V Strom 1000 | 2014 | Dual Purpose | Dual Purpose | Suzuki Motorcycles, Motorbikes & ATVs Australia

This has made me happy :mrgreen:

 

I'd like to see a silver one.

 

^^^what he said--+1 on silver

 

Silver and black trim....

I think this bike would look great in a nice silver with black trim.

 

Khaki, with the gold shocks and matching seat, ooohhh yaaaa

 

STUFF

to much black not enough YELLOW! 'll bet I can make it look better :beatnik:

 

Red. In red it looks like the Duc Multi Strada. Of course the V Beak will be tons more reliable.

Silver with silver wheels.

 

Well I ordered one in Khaki so better make that my choice!
Close race so far.

 

My dealer did not order any khaki. He said nobody will like that color. I think he was wrong!

 

I think you're right. I think it's a pretty cool colour, especially for a bike with "adventure" pretensions.

All of the new colours look better than the boring grey of my '02. I guess I'd say colour is generally near the bottom of my priorities, though.

 

Khaki will look like the bike has just been on a long off-road ride :biggrinjester:

I voted for a black SE with my deposit, substituting a Givi 460 for the top case:

 

I fail to see how that is a bad thing!

 

I agree completely.

The new V-Strom 1000, in any color, is a total win.

 

It's a tough choice. It looks good in all the colors.:thumbup:

 

Looks like a bloke in Spain got the white one :thumbup:

Nueva V-Strom 1000

Looks great!
