The Suzuki DL1000, also known as V-Strom 1000, is a dual-sport motorcycle with a 1037 cc V-twin engine and a standard riding posture. It has been manufactured in Japan by Suzuki since 2002] although sales in Europe ended in 2009. The name V-Strom combines "V" referring to the bike's engine configuration with the German Strom, meaning stream or power. The V-Strom motorcycle is based on the V-twin engine initially designed for the Suzuki TL1000S and TL1000R motorcycles. It incorporates design elements from other Suzuki motorcycles including fuel injection based on the GSX-R models. A smaller-engined version, V-Strom 650 is also manufactured. Kawasaki marketed an identical version of the bike named the KLV1000 in Europe.
