Round LED headlights showing up sounds subtle but is actually significant. Beyond improving nighttime visibility, it noticeably sharpens the expression compared to the old squared-off unit. If they've even touched the ABS unit, the control character must have changed too, and I can't stop wondering about what's between the lines of the spec sheet.

The previous square-headlight look had its own charm too though.

Minor update releasing July 23rd, this is probably coming with a price increase.

If they've got room for 4 color options, that cost's probably baked into the price hike.

Round LEDs look great, the face reads a lot gentler now.

The V-Strom 250's easy to load up, great for touring, though the round headlight might split opinion.

Even carried over mechanically, it's already a well-rounded touring bike, so this works.

Engine's carried over, looks like just the round LED and ABS unit got changed.
