This may not be an official supermoto, but it looks nice!

Is this coming to the US?

Too bad it's heavier than an SV650

Claimed dry weight is 370 pounds to the first generation SV650's claimed dry weight of 366 pounds.

Maybe Suzuki are just bigger liars about dry weight, but when the numbers are that close, even with some room for Japanese dry weight optimism, the Strada is not a light bike.

4 pounds heavier than an SV? Not a problem.... some of us have been known to tear up the motard circuit with an old dented-up SV.
