|  V-Strom Center of Gravity
Does anyone know why this bike so top heavy? i got on a kowasaki vulcan and it just seemed like there has to be a reason why suzuki engineered so much weight to the top, when that vulcan feels 2 or three time lighter. I've got 500 miles on my v-strom now and i'm starting to get used to it but it still seems like if it had a lower center of gravity it would handle both the wind and the gravel (I live down about two miles of gravel road so its inevetable) quite a bit better.
