JAKARTA - Strengthening solidarity as well as facilitating hobbies, the V-Strom Indonesia Owners (VION) community held a grand tour and the inaugural National Conference on 23-25 May 2024.

A total journey of 583 km starting from Karawang, West Java to the Special Region of Yogyakarta along with nearly 100 VION members who participated in this grand activity.

As a form of support for the cohesiveness and spirit of the VION community, the management of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS) also participates in touring and providing service stations for oil replacement and light improvements at special prices that can be utilized by community members.

"Suzuki fully supports the community commitment initiated by owners of V-Strom 250SX to have a positive impact on members and also the wider community," said 2W Sales & Marketing Director of PT SIS Shinozaki Yohei.

Previously, this community had held touring twice in 2023, and this year it was again held by involving nearly 100 Suzuki V-Strom 250SX owners spread across various parts of Indonesia.

"Suzuki welcomes this annual momentum and will continue to provide support for the development of the community, one of which is VION," added Shinozaki.

This touring activity starts from the An Nur Karawang Mosque gathering point to the Roso Echo restaurant located in Cirebon with a distance of 185 km via the north coast (Pantura). The next trip takes 92.1 km to the Lebak Siu gas station located in Tegal Regency. At this point, the members take the time to rest for a while and refuel.

From the Lebak Siu gas station, the trip was continued to a camping place in Guci Tegal with a distance of 27 km. At this location, community members organize the main agenda, namely the inaugural National Conference (Munas) as well as a series of other familiarity activities. In addition to strengthening the friendship between members, this National Conference was also held to elect the management of the VION community for the second period. Community members stay for one night at the Guci camp area located at the foot of Mount Slamet before continuing their journey to DI Yogyakarta the following day.

On the second day of the grand touring of the VION Community, the riders headed for the final route of DI Yogyakarta with an initial journey of 199 km past Mount Telomoyo which is located in the border area between Semarang Regency and Magelang Regency.

This location is also known for its beautiful natural scenery such as the view of the country's tub above the clouds, until it gets the nickname 'Nepal Van Java'. After being satisfied with enjoying the beautiful scenery, the trip is then continued to the Magelang area with a distance of 65 km and stops to spend the night in the Triangguling Glamping area located at the foot of Mount Sumbing. On the third day, the group then headed to DI Yogyakarta by traveling a distance of around 61 km, which also marks the end of the upcoming touring route VION 2024.

Based on the same vision and mission, the members are committed to making VION a community that has a good impact on members and the wider community. As a form of Suzuki's support in this inaugural grand touring and National Conference activity, an exclusive service station is provided at the glamping location to serve the service needs of the riders.

Through the VION community, we hope that V-Strom 250SX customers can have a new family with the same hobby. With the presence and commitment that is held firmly, we are sure that VION can have a positive impact both for members and the surrounding community. We also hope that every positive activity carried out can be maintained and get a good response from the community as well. Therefore, Suzuki is committed to always supporting every positive activity carried out by the entire community, including VION, "concluded Shinozaki.

This community was formed in 2023, over the initiation of several V-Strom 250SX users, it is recorded that until now official VION members have reached more than 100 riders spread throughout Indonesia.
