The standard comes in one color (Glass Sparkle Black/Solid Iron Gray) and has cast wheels and no S.I.R.S. Move up a level to the XT, and you get quite a bit more: S.I.R.S, spoked wheels, an adjustable seat, a center stand, engine guards, a lower cowl, an adjustable windscreen, more stylish mirrors and handguards, and two color options: eye-catching Champion Yellow No. 2 with a blue seat and accents, and Pearl Brilliant White/Glass Blaze orange.</p><p> </p><p>Despite all of the changes, in motion, the V-Strom is still a V-Strom at heart, which is a good thing. It's still extremely comfortable and solid as a rock at speed. In my opinion, there just isn't a motorcycle more comfortable to ride on the street than the V-Strom, except for perhaps a Honda Gold Wing (even then). Luckily, nothing has changed in that department for 2020 when it comes to the 'Strom; however, what has changed is power-there is more of it. It still has great bottom-to-mid pull but definitely delivers the goods much better than before from mid on up. The V-Strom has always had a strong but not necessarily exciting motor, but now it has a little bit more of both. Even the engine sounds a bit more "enthusiastic."</p><p> </p><p>You'll easily notice the difference between the three engine modes. "B" seems to find the happy medium between the noticeably more aggressive and abrupt "A" mode and the mellower "C" mode. However, all three have their usefulness, but B mode is excellent all-around and was where I left it most of the time.</p><p>Throttle response in all modes is superb; there are no hiccups or surprises anywhere. Same when it comes to shifting the six-speed transmission. Gear changes require just a light nudge on the shifter, and the slipper clutch ensures that it stays that way when things get hot and heavy on the twisties.</p><p> </p>
