I’m looking to buy an adventure bike and can’t decide what bike to get, this has really opened my eyes to how capable the 800DE is. Not many people showcasing this bike on UA-cam
I’m stoked to hear that this content is helping you out on your decision between the two. The V-Strom 800DE has surly surprised me on its capabilities and comfortability. Even so, I haven’t made hardy any changes to the bike set up but, that will also depend on where you plan on riding it… Cheers!
@@austinteyleryeah, I’ve been riding the old gen1 vstrom and love them but have been contemplating the usual new mid weight ADVs: T7, GS850/900, KTM 690-890, Transalp, Norden, and now the Tuareg. Now I have to consider the Strom800 again. Too many to choose from now. 🤯
@@joaorocha144 Isn't that what an Adventure bike is designed for, dirt? I have street bikes far superior to the Talp. Maybe I should put nobbies on my Goldwing and call it Transwing.
@joaorocha144 Interestingly enough, OnTheBackWheel recently did this comparison and found the 800DE to hold its own. However, your switching comparsons...The AT is significantly more money and would be like comparing a Ford Ranger vs. an F150. Based on weight, power, and ground clearance, the AT is the winner. Based on weight displacement and electronic aids, the 800DE is better.
Now that's the way to ride these babies and with the proper sound to go with it. Can you imagine it with a little suspension work. My KTM 990 is starting to feel a bit nervous. Thanks for the great vid...I think I'm finally convinced.
Hi, thank you for the video. I have been looking for similar videos for a long time. I want to buy a 800 de, I think it is an unfairly underrated machine. That is, here in the Czech Republic. Keep going, thanks.
Man ... I feel like that ride you took on the 800 would have just rag-dolled me. You owned that thing. Looks like you've spent 100's of hours on it although you haven't. Keep up the great work 👍
Very few "capable" riders have reviews the DR800 (800DE). So many get hung up on its weight, which really disappears when moving, unless it's in a loose corner. I love the front suspension, but I'd have to put a stiffer spring in the back. I tend to carry too much, but the bike, with a heavier spring would still likely preload alright with no baggage. And it's not going to break very easily. Thank you got pounding on it. Soon as my pocketbook will allow, I'll have one in my shop.
I agree, some stiffer springs for some hold up would be perfect. 👌 Also tires can play a big factor depending on the level of off-road riding. Excited for these upgrades! 😎
That big Strom just eats those hills like a champ! - great to see what these bigger adv bikes can do on the right tyres and in expert hands. Sounds just epic too on those big hill climbs as you get on and off the throttle. Must’ve been huge fun, I was grinning just watching!😃👍
Thanks, top video. I've got a Vstrom that I'll pick up in 3 weeks & ride through desert country in Western Australia. Wondering about rim locks - never fitted them but presumably not difficult. Would be handy for loose sand. Cheers
Awesome! Can’t wait for you to get yours. I’m currently not running any rim locks but if you go with lower air pressure, you’ll have to be careful that you go too low. One of the next things for me will be rim locks so that I can adjust for lower air pressure when needed 😎👍
Rippin! I need to improve my hill climbing game 😂 Have to get your Dad one and throw on some bags and go do some Moto camping/ trail riding with me when you get back to MT
this bike is definitely insane been reviewing videos here between tenere 700 transalp 750 and this vstrom DE wondering which suits to be my next bike for mostly on road ocassionally offroad
I tested the DE & RE back to back and loved the DE but for road the RE is superior, better handling,lighter, better brakes .. I bought the RE it's perfect for me
How is it..... proceeds to wheelie up the dirt hill ..😮.... I think the rider desrves a lot of credit id really like one of these bikes but im aware i wont riding it like this... 👍
Those tires are junk lol. My KTM 500 EXC eats a rear in less than 150 km 🤦♂️😂🤣. Makin me take another look at that bike now 🤔. I don’t wanna drop the $$$$$ on a 1290 R and don’t like the looks of the 890 ☹️. Always been a Zuki rider and lover back in my 2 smoker days . The pipe and tires could make that bike a fun adventure machine for sure 👌😎👏.
I swear to god that bike manufacturers would sell much more bikes if they hired people who actually ride, to just ride the bike and let the bike capabilities speak for itself like what was done here. I had this bike on my shortlist but removed it after “influencers” who rode the bike on a flat trail review it and complain about what they didn’t like. Never again
Ich finde meine 800de sieht super aus, außerdem ist es für mich okay, wenn Leute wie du keine fahren, dann bleibt es schon was besonderes und Schönheit liegt, wie bekannt, immer im Auge des Betrachters. Ich könnte auch in allen Transalp Videos schreiben, ich finde die taugt nix, mach ich aber nicht, weil es keinen Interessiert. Laut Motorrad Online stimmt zudem deine Behauptung zu den Verkaufszahlen nicht. Da spricht wohl der Neid Mopped Uli, verkaufen sich die Transalps nicht so gut?
Why do all those big boys think that noisy is cool 🥱. This bike is made to be super silent to keep motorcycling in respect of its neighborhood. Let's agree they silence is the new noise 😄
That thing sounds savage AF.
Super underrated platform.
Agreed!
Super content, can’t believe how good that 230kg bike was in the dirt 👍
Excellent handling 💯
Weight is slung low.
@@IRQ1ConflictSwing low sweet chariot.
Glad to see the Moto-Mart at Carnegie getting some attention. I absolutely love Carnegie. Great riding and taking the 800DE through the paces
Love this big bike content! Keep it coming. Was on the fence about buying one of these over the T7, but you just sold me!

And it's good on road too! And in duo. And for travel! Great bike
Yes indeed!
The bike performed😮 extremely well... And sounded great!. Better than I expected, overall
I also have the Yoshimura exhaust on my 800DE. It's such a nice sounding exhaust.
😎👌
Thing sounds amazing!
@@austinteyler Is your exhaust a full system or a slip on?
I love the 800DE, soooo much better than the Tranalp.
only in off road

@@jonwoodworker so 800DE is superior to a african twin

@@jonwoodworker u´re right 800DE is superior only in off-road and its more expensive and more ugly, but its only opinions
Soooo you should get paid by Suzuki. Great use of speed and balance. You have no fear my friend . Make more Videos !!!!
Thank you, I just loving riding anything two wheels. Appreciate the kind words and be on the lookout for more vids! Cheers!
As others have said, you are really showing how this bike can rip off-road!
Now that's the way to ride these babies and with the proper sound to go with it. Can you imagine it with a little suspension work. My KTM 990 is starting to feel a bit nervous. Thanks for the great vid...I think I'm finally convinced.
The bike has been a blast to ride! Stiffer springs are the next thing for it 😎🤙

Glad it was helpful! Strongly recommend the V-Strom 800DE. 😎🤙
Dude str8 booking it on the strom.
I’ve never seen anyone ride a 500 pound bike like that…. Savage
Man ... I feel like that ride you took on the 800 would have just rag-dolled me. You owned that thing. Looks like you've spent 100's of hours on it although you haven't. Keep up the great work 👍
Always liked this bike and now I know it can take a beating . Badass vid thanks

Nice to see Tony and Motomart getting some attention. The dude is a staple at Carnegie SVRA
No doubt, Tony is the man! 🙌
after riding this bike chose this over the t7 plus it looks great sitting next to my dr650
😎👍
agreed. t7 is clunky, awkward. Suz makes a superior bike. if only suz would buy the toureg 660 and make it in their factory
Very skilled!
Awesome, I want one now

great sounding bike,
That wheelie at 7:28 was sick! Is the suspension still stock springs/valving?
Hey Tyler this is the old guy Danny from jawbone you look pretty impressive on that 800
Love it!! Awesome content! More please. I picked up the 800 de last year and love to see stuff like this. Did you install a tune with the pipe?
Thank you and no I didn’t.
great skills ...👍✌️...(...a owner from germany...)..💯👍✌️
That pipe is surprisingly loud. A bit too loud for the long distance touring I plan on doing on mine.
It's not the original pipe ;)
Wow amazing riding on a bike that size. Seemed like the motor has plenty of juice?
Suzuki made this bike for great handling and power 💯
Any suggestions regarding the front suspension settings? Thx
Rippin! I need to improve my hill climbing game 😂
Have to get your Dad one and throw on some bags and go do some Moto camping/ trail riding with me when you get back to MT
Awesome Man👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼tubeless tires??
800DE è una moto fantastica, godibile sia in strada che in off. Io la lascio sfogare tra i sentieri dell'Etna💪✌
Hi, what tires are you using on the de 800
The real challenge now is doing it with the Transalp lol
I got the same bike, same color.. nice one... the dash code is OFF A 1 .. right?
Nice going! The question is how this bike will take this abuse. The frame is not tested like the other adventure bikes.
Is the suspension original?
That’s a hill climbing machine! How heavy is it? What’s it like to pick up by yourself?
Didn’t think a bike this heavy would be that capable.
this bike is definitely insane been reviewing videos here between tenere 700 transalp 750 and this vstrom DE wondering which suits to be my next bike for mostly on road ocassionally offroad
I tested the DE & RE back to back and loved the DE but for road the RE is superior, better handling,lighter, better brakes .. I bought the RE it's perfect for me
Could you put finnish subtitles
nowadays , they say , it can be done with a couple of clicks
Le gomme che hai cambiato erano Tubeless senza camera d'aria?
Wish it was still a single.
Wow!
That friggin awesome..just so you know the tires are mo-toz. Not moto-z
❤❤❤
How is it..... proceeds to wheelie up the dirt hill ..😮.... I think the rider desrves a lot of credit id really like one of these bikes but im aware i wont riding it like this... 👍
Dam that note. Good riding ground. U definitely would have a struggle if your arms were an inch shorter….
Looks easy 😅
That's how you sell vstrom 800DE 's
Suzuki needs to put this engine in a 800CC ATV it would sell really well with it being a DOHC parallel twin.
...so what about suspension !? rear looks soft!? ;-/
Hey Tyler this is Danny the old guy from jawbone Love the way you ride that 800
✌🏻😊

na i dont need a pipe for my not yet delivered 800de..... should of not watched this!
Die Optik ist einfach Hässlich
und die Verkaufszahlen sehen auch so aus sehr gering!!!!!
