We chose the Suzuki V-Strom 650 because of its all around versatility as a dual tour machine. It is the right tool for the job.

MotoCaribe owns the bikes you'll be using during the tour; this ensures that the bike will be in excellent working condition during your entire tour. Any mechanical issue that should arise is addressed by our full time mechanic. We even trailer along a spare bike.

Road conditions vary on the routes you will be riding from well paved asphalt, bumpy pavement, wet road, hard packed dirt, and gravel access roads. We have gone a few steps further and have added the following to each of the bikes:
  • Engine Protectors
  • Swing arm sliders
  • Lowering kits
  • Handlebar Camcorder mounts
  • Tank Bag
