Chris - my 2021 650 V-Strom did have the McCruise system installed on it from the previous owner. Worked very well. I miss it. He had the dealer install it. Cha ching $$$.
Did I see no cruise control? Idiots! Fu**ing idiots! They have all these bizarre features like the headlight following the road in a lean and they very purposely refuse to put on a cruise control! Ride by wire and no cruise control! Bags, centerstand, roll bars and this is my bike. Givi wind screen. 31 in seat height and light weight and launch assist are all great. Take my money! It will be too late for my lifetime but if they hold a US focus group with other than egg plants, this bike with the right options would fly off the dealer shelves. So sad but I bet later they come out with a better bike. So sad. My hands are so old they go numb holding a broom....I want cruise. Even with the McCruise installed, it may work. And it matches my helmet.
It would be worth the 1500 or so on the new Vstrom. If they come out with a kit. For the 2o27 Vstrom 650. My guess is its gonna take them awhile to develop the kit.Chris - my 2021 650 V-Strom did have the McCruise system installed on it from the previous owner. Worked very well. I miss it.

It is my hope they do...and Givi builds sane bags that dont come up to your shoulder level. If they made this bike with a tad bigger engine still with no vibration, add Cruise, dropped their flawed 800 from the lineup, they could make serious dents in the HOnda and Triump Lineup.However, if the SV-7GX is ride-by-wire there is a good chance that Veridian Cruse will build a unit for it.
