just bought a 650, so am NOT LISTENING TO YOU GUYS...GO AWAY 😛
but as always, a very comprehensive review
It’s Ok Arijith…Do Yourself a favour and get one 😂😂
🫡
Be happy to hear this, bosky said 650 has coolest engine
hello!as european i agree with you:many riders here like fancy electronic gadgets:electronic suspension ,cruise control,adaptative cruise control,connected TFT like if they wanted to watch netflix when riding and so and so...instead of enjoying the landscape while riding,they are proud of their wonderful machine ,they like BMW 1300GS ,the Graal of motorbike,they identify to the bike socially;when I drive my v strom 650 they look at me like if i were a poor guy!
🙌
650 is such a gem
Any bike review is entertaining with these two , keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
Love your banter, humour, oh yes and the reviews.
Glad you like them!
Crisp review gentlemen! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I too had exact experience. Booked mine and getting it delivered on Friday..😀
Congrats
Enjoyed this interactive review as always
Glad you enjoyed it.
Bigger and better machine reviews are better heard & seen coming from you guys. Cheers and very good & practical & experience flown in those thoughts.
Our pleasure!
Always this pair shines on reviewing motorcycles❤
🙏
awesome review both. Keep up the good work !
🙏
The best reviewers just like old wine in UA-cam love watching u both
🙏
Just amazed listening your conversations..!!👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙏
How good it is to have 2 guys speaking about motorcycles, calm & relaxed rather than shouting & screaming.
🙏
I just bought one, and find if really good, in looks, power, comfort, and useable torque.
Mine is the black version, with blue highlights but keeps the gold rims and forks - it beautiful! 😀👍.
Great video, lovely detail, and I love the channel , I have subscribed 👍😀
Congrats. Thanks.
Like the looks 👌
👍
I took a test ride a few weeks ago. I felt the riding position is more relaxed than the 650 due to the raised ride height… i have added handlebar risers on my 650 for a more upright riding position but the 800 with its wider handlebars gets a similar position without the risers. You mentioned the superior brakes and thats definitely true in terms of bite and stopping power. What caught my attention was the better ABS calibration.. it was definitely leaps and bounds over the 650. The suspension in its hardest setting was quite nice.. if we turn it to the softest setting, then the ride quality would be magic carpet like i would imagine. I also felt that the bike was lighter to manoeuvre despite its weight on paper. All in all i felt the 800 fixed all the relative misses of the 650 well.
👍
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Great review. Waiting for your views on Transalp 750 :)
If and when possible.
slow speed roling even exists on 250 segment ... vstrom 250 is my 1st bike ... was still doubting when i bought the bike with my decision but after riding ... its just been a blast
👍
Yup yup, even I was thinking the same and it's a really useful feature, I have to say. Got one after watching all of Bosky's content on it as well. ♥️
bosky plz next in ur list must be transalp 750 vs vstrom 800DE
👍
Brilliant review, covered everything i was looking for and entertaining, as its an adv another 1 lakh or more for accessories only for crash guard, AUX and engine guard/skid plate, but pricing is great with useful features and quick shifter but awkward number plate placement. more bigger bike reviews please probably multistrada next, believe it has v4 engine so curious what kind of experience would that bring.
🙏👍
🙏👍
Great comprehensive discussion.
Sir, whats your view of characteristics of v-twin engine of 650 vs parallel twin config of 800? Or it doesn't really matter?
Feels similar
Devva bantu antaralla :D
Woah what a show, dear Bossky and CK, was as good as enjoying a nice movie over the weekend. I was smitten with a test ride last week, hope the stars align for a purchase.
You folks are like these neighborhood perfect uncles. Dhanyavaada 😀
🙏
12:40 about the engine noise it's very true. I totally agreed 😆👍🏼. I'm now mad noticing it on my ns200.
🙏
enjoyed it, plz bring a comparison with Versys 650 or make a separate video of it
Will check on this possibility
Desperately looking forward to hearing such a review on Transalp.... Please try to fulfill my request...

Yesss we need 750 vs 800de
🙏
I've just clocked 10 thousand kms on mine in Australia. The suspension felt a bit harsh when I first got it but it has definitely improved with a few kms. The clutch and gears are smooth and definitely not clunky. I have the touring screen which takes a lot of wind off you but I still get a bit of buffeting on helmet. Overall it is great fun on tarmac or dirt and I can't even look at it without wanting to go riding
Awesome!
Love from tamilnadu ❤
🙏
Since you guys spoke about European, can you do a review of the new 2024 tiger 900? Any advice will be appreciated 😊
Noted
Nice comparison, does it comes with center stand option?
Yes
There is a bigger and wider windscreen as an accessory in other countries, I’m not sure we get that for India. Especially for the road going model VStrom 800RE, that wind screen is coming in stock. Some reviewers say 800DE model is purpose built for off-road so the rider has better visibility with the smaller windscreen.
👍
Firstly it's a privilege to see you on v-strom again😊 and I hav been watching all your videos and tips that you share with bikers are top-notch
I need your help over choosing the option between triumph tiger 850 and v-strom 800 de
Since this both motorcycles appear to have similar spec on papers
I need your help in deciding with respect to reliability , maintenance and resale value in the Indian market
Thanks.
Japanese machines are more reliable and durable. The only drawback is tube type tyres on the 800DE. If you don't mind that, then the DE could be the one to go for.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you so much for your time and quick reply
please a give review on the helmet of the new himalayan .
Helmet?
Did you both go to Nandi Hills? I heard they were only allowing Public buses to go up and no private vehicles
Yelagiri
A lot of people have already asked for the comparison with Transalp.. But would it make sense to add Tiger 900 and F850 GS into the mix as well? They are clearly priced on the higher side but still in the middle-weight category. Just a general discussion on these even in the form of a podcast would be great 🙏🏼
👍
That saree guard and exhaust muffler 😵💫
🙏
Awaiting for a review transalp 750 vs vstrom 800DE
Noted
My 2 paisa about outex! Even though outex might offer peace of mind but it does come with additional fear of hitting pothole and damaging it. I have it in my INT650 which served well so far. But overall I still feel Suzuki should have given a choice by releasing 800RE along with 800DE
I've used Outex on the rear and havr had no issues.
When I observed the tyres, they have mentioned as tube type and not tubeless, so even if we go for outex option should we change the tyres to tubeless?
Yes
Sir
I am having gt 650(2019)running once a week n having trouble with braking, rear brake almost dead not even work after pumping or bleeding. Mechanic suggested changing master cylinder, is it ok or to change major kit which costs less, your suggestions please 🙏
Replace assembly.
When will they launch the road version of this bike ? V-Strom 800 RE. I have been waiting for that.
any idea on it ?
Sorry no idea
Sir! Currently owning a meteor 350 and planning to move to midweight segment adv tourer. In my mind, I have 2 options scram 411 and ktm 390. Which one do you recommend? I have checked your videos lists there was no videos about scram 411 except some comparison. Please do suggest
They are quite different. Take test rides and choose.
How about u turn in city roads in a divider? Easy or cumbersome? Nice 👌🏻 review sir 👍🏻
Easy. Thanks.
Amazing review video sirji ❤ there is a request for you sir if possible plz compare with bmw f850gs and triumph tiger 900 humble request 🙏🏻
Thanks. Noted.
How is the engine heat in city traffics ? Manageable in a city like Hyderabad? Especially if someone wants to use it like almost a daily bike ? Am trying to upgrade from Ktm 390 adv
Manageable is a personal barometer to heat tolerance. I can manage it and some others may not be able to.
Great video , please compare it with honda transalp 750 ❤❤❤
We will try.
Sir
I am looking ooking for buy scrambler 400 X . Please suggest whether this bike has that power to pull at the high altitude, as per torque is considered, or should I go for Honda CB 350, it's 3000 rpm
Ride the 400X and the CB350 back to back to know more. Please check BHP and Torque figures quoted by each. Are they even close?
The metzelers and few others also come with the isi / bis. But dont see them being sold cheap anywhere in the official market.. except vredestein..rest with bis also is a black market price.
Ok
Waiting for Translap review ❤
👍
I have not see your views on the NX500 from Honda. Do you plan to review the bike. ?..
No plans for now. Hope to soon.
I think Suzuki should bring the RE varient of the Vstrom 800 to India. It has a tubeless setup.
🙏
Please make a review on honda nx500.
When possible, will.
❤❤👍🏻
🙏
Pls.. Vs800 vs Honda transalp 750
🙏
12:58 oh bosskey u know Tamil ?? Nice I’ll visit big bear when I’m in blore then
🫡
Now wanna know what you think of the Transalp 750.
If Honda gives you one!
If..... 😀👍
One thing that I observed is, recommend fuel is 95+ unlike V650 which can run even on kerosene 😅. It may be a problem to hunt for right fuel on a long ride..
👍
Please review speed twin 900
Will do if and when possible
Sir ji pls come up with the review of Honda transalp 750 & Honda NX500 in your channel. Eagerly waiting for your views & opinions regarding those two bikes.🙏🙏
Will check on this possibility.
V Strom - Versatile As A Stream... Reliable as F@ck.. 😊
🙏
Waiting for the better version of this. The 800 RE. Tubeless tyres are a must for Touring. And the weight negates any off road ability of such bikes anyway. We really have to go backwards to come up with real Adventure Bikes ie 170ish Kerb weight machines. These are just touring bikes in a Dual Sport Fancy dress.
Ok
compare vstrom 800de & honda translap 750
Will do if possible
One thing that I observed is, recommend fuel is 95+ unlike V650 which can run even on kerosene. It may be a problem to hunt for right fuel on a long ride..
I had this same doubt when i checked it out. it has a 95 RON sticker...and 95 RON is 91 octane which is available pretty much. And kerosene, seriously?😂
Any fuel ok
I have run mine on 91 when I had to without any problems
@@user-bi5tz2dp9c running on 91 occasionally is fine, but it's something which bothers me to run it consistently
Look that that number plat position, whose dicision was that?
🙏
Hi sir, I took my new Himalayan 450 and I have a doubt when we try to put gear from neutral to 1st and 1st to 2nd gear,,, I see "Tak" sound when that gear shifts. Is it the same for all that Himalayan 450 bikes?
Who ever owns one please comment on this...( Is it common?)
Yes that's a usual noise.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks sir for the reply. Can you make a video on this clutch and gear proper shifting process please?
Good review overall. But why do you'll have to stand in front of the bikes
Thanks. Noted.
Versys 650 vs this - which one makes more sense to buy ?
V800DE
@@bigbearbangalore Thanks 👍
How does it compare to Versys 650? Cuz I just bought 1.
I prefer the Vee above the Versys. More versatile.
I'm planning to buy a Vstrom 250SX. Is it good for a beginner or not? Kindly suggest to me some bikes at this price.
It's a good buy.
Buy a Himalayan. For that price, its a better ADV and Tourer.
Bosky why no nx500 review?
Haven't had access to it yet.
Why do you need full fairings for a trail bike ?
When not using for trail.
All said and done, why does that front number plate have to been in that place? 🙄🙄 It looks downright comical! 😂 By the way, which are those twisty turny roads you guys went riding on?
Yelagiri
In many foreign countries motorcycles don't need front number plate. Only rear.
Most of the Suzuki designs are with simple aesthetics. This one I feel Boxy--Bhosky sir
👍
Guys plz compare this with Honda Transalp 750
When possible, yes.
Is it good to upgrade to V storm 850 to CB350?
All I can say is that the Vee 800DE is a great machine.
I somehow feel like the heavy bikes should have a reverse assist
🙏
Most exciting and awaited bike since its launch in Europe. Adventure enthusiasts were waiting for this and Honda’s Transalp 750. I don’t know what’s yamaha is doing with its Teneré 700?😑😑 Really disappointed with Yamaha.
👍
What about YEZDI 350cc -Adventure
Nothing about it to say here.
Does it need only 95 Octane Fuel ?
No
There is honda mtx 125 in cafeteria bangalore tn registration can any one save this bike
🙏
Did anyone notice the phone behind the number plate?
👋
I really really want the SV650 in India. It would be absolutely perfect.
Please bring it here, please make it in India, please make it affordable.
I really want that engine, on a simple bike without any sophisticated electronics,
Just a simple beautiful accessible vtwin.
👍
I feel Japanese bikes have clunky gearbox initially and gets smoother with services
👍
Scooter for nandhini milk and v storm for Nandi hill. 😁
🫡
where is this location 😮
Yelagiri
V stands for versatile ig.
👍
Fuel efficiency ???
22 to 24
I get 400 kms on a tank no problems
I like your reviews in English. I don't understand the Indian language . Thanks

price?

Need a comparison for 800DE vs transalp
Noted
Many of them online. 800 wins.
Nice talks about lights!!!! 😅
Glad you like them!
Yes we'll said get some Motoz Australia 🇦🇺 tyers
👍
Even if it will be 250 kgs you wouldn't have felt that.. that particular statement holds no value at all..while running, even 265 kg busa will not trouble you.
Ok thanks
Headlight shape looks like a ******* and it has 2 as well. 😅
Thanks for the review.
Looks funky
@@bigbearbangalore new age motorbike design are shit aesthetically. Most of the great looking motorbikes have become ugly in new avatar , just to look sleeker and modern 🤨
@vaibhavdubey8647 liking or disliking looks are a personal taste.
@@bigbearbangalore as you say 😊
Those old 650 V's can easily go beyond 300000 km with basic maintenance.
👍
If only cruise was at least an option
👍
Hi sir
👋
Tube tyres
Tubeless tyres installed with tube.
It might get stuck in Kaizen Cycle
