The Suzuki V-Strom might not be what you think of when you think of the Norra Mexican 1000 Rally race, but the crazy gents at Cycle World recently raced the bike at the event.

Would You Rally Race the Suzuki V-Strom 1000?

The team made several upgrades to the V-Strom to get it race-ready, and they still weren’t sure if it would preform as they wanted it to. Just finishing a race like the Mexican 1000 Rally in Baja is an accomplishment, so they had their work cut out for them.

I highly recommend you check out the video below. I don’t want to spoil anything, as these guys put in a ton of work producing this video and racing the bike. I’d suggest popping some popcorn and sitting back to enjoy the show.
