Snack Test: 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 650

It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been wanting myself to be on a racetrack, whether if it’s from a car or a motorcycle, it has been one of my childhood dreams.

Seeing that, I’m a frustrated racer. It’s because I was never given a chance to push any machine or myself to absolute limits. Du to this, I used to street race during my youth no matter what racing discipline it is.

So my first-ever track day experience would be on an Adventure-Touring bike, the V-Strom 650! I call this THE jack of all trades, master of none motorcycle.

So will it also perform well on a racetrack? So given for what it is, also fresh from off-roading, how does the bike or even me handle on a proper racetrack like Clark International Speedway? Will I be out of place in a field of ‘proper’ sport and track bikes?

 

I will never forget this experience, ever!

 

There will be more Snack Tests in the future, stay tuned!

New Segment: ‘Snack Test’ Coming Soon!

If ‘Bite Tests’ are for parking lot test rides for less than 15 minutes.

And my long-standing ‘Taste Tests’ are for demo ride days for less than an hour of seat time.

Now finally, I get to ride on the race track!!!

It took me a bit of time to come up with a goofy name, hence I call it ‘Snack Tests!’

Here is a 1 lap sneak preview on a 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 650!
