Would you consider a V-Strom 800RE over its rivals? Let us know below 👇
Maybe. If fit for purpose. 2025 model.
yes i would.transalp 21 front with tubes noway,tracer 7 too little,versys 650 is for the nursing home.this is the best choise,with a nicer windscreen and an aftermaret exhaust
@@thodoris3790 My issue with the Versys (which by all means is a great bike for most people) is the engine. Terribly vibey and not at all what one can consider “fun”. 270 cranks FTW.
i like the look of this bike and would suit my style of riding..
@903lew Very fun engine in the '24 Ninja 650 I have, and I don't find it transferring vibes in that application. Versys uses the older frame and is literally 60 lbs heavier (80 lbs with the Kaw panniers). Test rode both the same day; loved the Ninja, wished the test loop was shorter with the Versys.
Drove it an hour ago,so here's my take. The windscreen is inadequate. The engine feels definitely restricted,obviously due to the stupid emmisions crusade. Other than that the bike is easy,comfortable,neutral,has enough power to pull it's weight respectably both in mountainous terrain and the highway,and it is not problematic at all in heavy traffic. Controls are easy,and the gearbox is very,very nice. A good,or rather very good commuter/allrounder.
Thanks for the feedback. Currently I'm on 2020 650XT and considering 800RE as an upgrade
@@shone8866 never drove a strom 650 but i had the SV650 mk3 for 6 years and 70K kms. I loved it...This new engine is more powerful but not extraordinarily so. Let us say that if you travel solo and without a ton of luggage you are OK,if you know what i mean. Anyway ,i suggest you to test drive it in a hilly,twisty terrain if possible. This makes or breaks a bike afaic.
IMO (just flapping my lips) for approximately 75% +/- of the riders out there this V-Strom 800RE (and a few other middle-weights in the marketplace) is 100% of what they "need" to enjoy riding the real roads of life. Now as for "wants", that is a different story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These bikes are bulletproof. Most reliable bike out there
How about the suspension? It's adjustable in a lot of ways, so that wouldn't cause more problems in the future after some rough use?
@@varun2250it’s not electronic suspension. Traditional adjustability has no reliability concerns.
@@raoulduke3770 Thanks for sharing that.
I have a VStrom 650 and took a look at the DE when it hit the dealers, I liked it but then rumours of the RE came along. I'm off to the NEC to have a look and a sit. Cruise control! I have had it in loads of cars and hardly use it, I certainly don't need it on a bike, even a bike I would use for touring.... so, can't wait to take a proper look.
Agree 100 %.
Thought I was the only one that didn’t bother using Cruise Control
@@paridmalita4987 you are not alone,cruise control is a gimmick. And quickshifter too,i never use it on my MT09 and it is completely alien on the 800 RE.
Nice review. This bike would suit me really well. I’m not at a stage of life where I can afford a GS. This bike would be loads of fun.
GS are money pits anyway, no need for them except for posers.
Comparing middleweight motorcycles. When I bought my '23 Vstrom 650 I looked at the 800. Other than a larger motor displacement I didn't see any advantages of the 800. The 650 has a proven record for reliability and durability and loads of aftermarket parts and accessories. The 650 rideability is extraordinary for a middle weight even at highway speeds. I would give the 800 two more years of consumer feedback before giving up on the DL650. They may even put cruise control on one or the other, or both by then. Lastly in my world [ with 700cc being the upper threshold ]there is a 30% savings in insurance premiums between the two.
biggest problem with the 650 is that is looks dated and the engine on the 800 actually appears far more fuel efficient compared to the 650.
@@ADobbin1 Perhaps. I just came off an 850km trip through the North Cascades and averaged 22.1 km/l. That seems pretty good. I definitely like the looks of the 800. Really nice looking in the real.
@@ADobbin1 the 800 will not be as good on fuel as the 650.
Good summing up Chris 👍 A modernised v-strom 650, which I always had a soft spot for.
Me too. I’ve owned 11 of them.
suzuki is waking up...great looking bike
That's why they pulled from MotoGP.
@@dIsAstErTR And Wsbk before that. Soon both MotoGP and Wsbk will be just Euro brands, at least until the Chinese come to play. In 2005, Benelli was acquired by Qianjiang Motor Group.
@@matthewbeesley5850 They'll be back once they reach their profit threshold.
I think it looks tasteful and good. Most people don't really ride off-road so this makes more sense and will handle better.
Yes great bike, might wait a year for more upgrades to gen 2.
Ditto.
I wish I had not taken a test ride ..I bought one straight away 😅
Me too
I kinna want to see this without the bestigial mini-beak. We know exactly why it doesn't have cruise: to sell DL1050s. Maybe once those run it this will get "upgraded".
At 6ft, you need the Hessler HRT "bench" ...a flat 1 piece seat, designed for the ADV travellers and offroad! I build fireroad bikes,this is ideal...the happy medium between Offroad and Road
Added in my wishlist. My current bike is X-cape 650
Great video! Beautiful bike for sure. Be good to see one in the flesh. I quite like it. Best!
Great review, you never mentioned the quick shifter? wish it had cruise instead.
Genial!! Excelente trabajo👍🏻✨
Dios que hermosa que está esa Suzuki
I own a 06 650 Vstrom love it, looking forward to the 800RE next!
Why not DE?
I 'd say drive it and if you like it go for it. Me,i will wait for the litre strom replacement,the current is long in the tooth now. The 800 is very good but a bit uninspiring,too neutral afaic.
Nice review, nice bike. One of those I'd be very happy to own and use, but would barely look at it in the shop or online to buy in the first place.
But - is Weekly Wind-on no more? Always marked the start of the weekend for me
A few words about maintenance schedule, fuel type and consumption and availability and price of common accessories wouldn’t hurt.
We can get that info off the website. I want to hear things about the riding experience, something I can't easily access.
Motorcycle equivalent of a "Tool Watch" - pragmatic, simple and rugged.
Is it dubbed the 800RE or the 800RQ? It's listed on the Suzuki website in NZ as being the 800RQ
Otro nivel con tegnologia y modelo anatómico me encanta
Great review. No cruise control. Geeze, Suzuki, come on.
No cruise control.. Whats the point. I commute on my s1000rr 2022. I will just wait for the F900GS adventure.
Wow is amazing🙌
And as usual, the first change needed is to replace that exhaust.
Muy buena carrera, es fascinante esa moto ❤
Can't wait to see this bike in a comparison to the Tiger 850 and the Transalp!
My next commuterbike might be one of those..
Or spend the same amount on a 4 year old 850GS?
Any advice is welcome.
Warranty is useful for a commuter, having it recovered to the dealer for free if it breaks.
One year old Transalp or this one.
You do not have to wait. I will tell u it right now. Why u compare this bike to Transalp? The differences are EVIDENT. Transalp is an adventure bike. This one is just road/touring bike.
850GS is as well adventure one (more road oriented because of the weight).
Tiger? Before going this option check out real fuel consumption 😊
A wise man once said ‘always buy the warranty’. If I was commuting on the thing that would be my main concern.
Wish this was launched 2.5 years ago before I bought my Tiger 850 commuter bike. I think it trades serious blows with the Triumph, although it does have a few more electronic farkles like the quickshifter and 1 more rider mode (which I really don't care for when riding to work). My bike does about 350km per tank down to the last bar, with 1-2 litres to spare.
K bonito recorer la carretera en moto
Bila nk masok Malaysia ni.....tgh tunggu
I like it a lot. I like sensible everyday bikes. Is it ok on dirt roads?
Exelente moto para la rutas largas
Excelente maniobra
I'll take a black one please!
Una buena moto para esa ciudad
Good
My dream
Excelente trabajo
Exelente para corridas muy veloz
Hermosa Motocicleta🤗
Emocionante manejar la moto
Excellent
Excelente motocicleta
They already have the other "off-road" version with a 21" front and spoke wheels.
Make this one more road focused, put a 17" on the front.
Yeah I agree. I guess they wanted to further separate it from the 8s but I'd like a super moto style commuter
Buena moto
Mi favorita excelencia
Thanks for your POVs - however speaking while riding makes it difficult to perceive as a review where MCN commits to what is said - prefer voice over....
Full aventura!
Hermosa moto
Excelente la moto
Excelente moto 🏍
Elegante motocicleta
Exelente moto
Muy buena moto 😃

Have any Vstrom 650 riders tried this new one? My 2018 650xt was kind of a long heavy pig. Not as much fun to ride as I had anticipated when I bought it.
If 650 is "heavy", 800RE is not for you. Search within Honda catalogue.
@@podunkman2709You’ve ridden both ?
I don't find my 2017 XT to be too heavy at all. It's not a particularly exciting bike, but it's a great affordable choice if you can only have one machine in the stable.
I don't know what's "V" in this bike. Sticking with the moniker while losing the L-twin seems a tad cringey to me.
Lindo paisaje
Buena moto, me encanta
Would only buy this if it had cruise control available. After 1 million km of riding my old right hand is knackered 😢
Que bonita moto
Impresionante
Suzuki sat on their laurels for far too long with the V-Strom 650. I'm glad they've finally caught on even though they're a bit late to what has now become a very crowded middleweight ADV party.
Muy interesante
Terrible audio. Wtf MCN?
Bonita moto
Excelente 👌
Para la competencia
Buen vehículo
Stop going on about bloody Cruise Control. People who actually buy this bike won't care. You missed the shortened wheelbase and different rake angle of the forks as well. Poor review.
interesante video
Excelente
La adrenalina
Genial...
Súper moto
Super
I like 😎😎😎
He says downspec version when really its more of a road going version than an adventure/dual sport version the original vstrom 800.
Wow! 😊
Bien
Exelente
Adrenalina
Grandioso
Cómo
Genial
Genial 👍
👍👍👍
Mejor agarre y más fuerza
Wow
Still waiting for a Suzuki what looks great ánd rides great.
No substitute for 1000cc and decent BHP for me seems a bit basic to me .
Chevere
Como
😮😮
❤❤
Why buy a cruiser when you can buy one of these for significantly less money and probably have more fun over long trips?
When in opening you state this is a down graded DE, it places a negative perception upon th.e RE model. You communicate that very well you'd rather be on a sports bike with more than 88bhp, cruise control, adjustible suspension and a 17 inch front wheel.
