This is really nice! Because in reality, most of us doesn't go off road. We need the comfort and ergonomics of a adventure bike but the handling of a naked sportsbike. Also that green looks so pretty!
I was saying it since DE came out - 19” tubeless front wheel , lower priced and they will have best selling bike.
I like it. A good looking machine, well specced, a good engine, and the right price point. Will definitely try and get a test ride when they're available.
Already own the DE and it is a very fun bike to ride on road as is, but this RE should be even better. Still wish it had a cruise control, but never hurt my wrist over the last 40 years to twist a throttle.
I really like that steel green color too on that RE.
Yeah but how are you going to buy matching gear and helmet in that color :P
Not adding cruise control to a "ROAD FOCUSED" version is a bit of a joke I think.
I'm 37. My wrists are killing in journeys over an hour long. I bought the 22 s1000rr for short rides and fun but still use the cruise control a lot. If this bike or the Transalp had cruise control, I would have bought one in a heartbeat for touring duties.
@@alastairtheduke maching gear and helmet is cringe
@@arnoldtm31s1000rr didn't solve it 😂😂😂
Great bike. Suzuki really made huge progress since 2023. I always loved their engines and comfort but last years with no TFT, less equipment bikes were not so... So when hey added that I bought a 2023 1050 regular and I love it. Put an Akrapovic on and you have a great sounding bike that drives sporty, and has great TFT, quichshifter that makes a ride in Alps fun.
We are still in 2023...
@@johnnyblue4799 Sure, I meant this year models.
@@skyworks1621 👍I'd take the 2023 1050 any time over the 800. How's the wind buffeting on the 1050?
@@johnnyblue4799 wind protection is great and Iam 1.90 cm.
@@skyworks1621 You're 12 cm taller. This might just put your helmet out of the buffeting zone. I had a 2018 V-Strom 650 and the buffeting over 90km/h was hard to cope with. I ended up sawing off half of the windscreen. That made it perfect... better in clean flow than in the turbulence, Thank you for replying.
This rider’s friendly aides came to stay. It’s an evolutionary consequence. Years ago, no one was measuring this kind of tech possibilities. But once a brand puts it out on the market it’s natural that people want to see that function ready to use on a new bike. It’s like on the premium segment, the blind spot detection feature, cornering abs or cornering lights. They’re not essential for the bike to function properly but they give the rider a better riding quality and performance, turning every journey easier. And so, it’s understandable that people start valuing that benefits when they’re choosing a new machine. Heated grips is another comfort feature very welcoming from the bikers community and it really is a nice thing to count with. Wind protection is another key feature to get whenever you go out riding on highway or longer rides👌🏻
I prefer this bike to the more off road option and the green would be my pick, good replacement for my 500x
Just bought an 800DE - Was used at my local dealer. Get it tomorrow and I am pretty excited. Moving from an MT09 to the 800DE. Need to keep my license and gives me the option to head to the dirt rode's.
Suzuki needs bikes that will sell in decent numbers and this engine + platform might bring in those.
Never used cruise control in 51 years of motorcycling, sometimes doing over 500 miles in a day because of my job , another computerised thing to go wrong ( a lot ) 🤪🤪😊👍
Yep, totally agree (53 years of MC) 😉
I personally wouldn't have minded if it was still the same price as the DE variant. And kept fully adjustable suspension (at reduced travel height of 170mm). Gained cruise control and had some more appealing paint schemes. But I know this wouldn't be as good for pushing sales.
After owning large adventure bikes with 21" wheels I much prefer this this sort of bike. More road biased with the ability to cruise along some slightly rough fire trails. I'll keep the 21" front for smaller bikes.
Thanks for the content.
Yes, all good changes except losing the fully adjustable suspension.
Still no cruise control, but the price drop makes it competitive with the transalp. I, being a taller rider, would probably go for this.
I’m 6’4” and I’m not sure the riding triangle will be that great with the lowered seat and raised pegs.
Yeah, taller riders doing reviews, actually wished the pegs on the 800 DE were a little lower and forward a bit. I'm also not sure about lowering the bars. When I sat on the DE at a dealer, I like the bars just where they were and was wondering about the foot peg positions. I'm 6 foot even.
have driven the 800 DE and looking forward to the 19/17' combination
I didn’t see this coming, Motobob first one out with this again 👍🏻
I'm like Bruce Wayne, so I'm gonna go with Glass Sparkle Black. Though I'm really surprised there's quickshifter comes in standard, that's a huge bonus. But I would love a centre stand too.
Went to Suzuki dealer last week and was looking at 650 vstrom xt and I asked about the 800re and dealer said that there wasn't gonna be a new road 800 vstrom for at least 2 years. Seems the dealer was telling porky pies .
Going for a quick sale. They'll say anything to you
Dealers don't know what is going on any more than we do. Many dealers have told me that. That salesman's pork pies must have been big enough for a feast!
I'll take the green, in 47 years of riding I've never had cruise control so thats not an issue, maybe some riders have limp wrists.
yep, my thoughts too (53 yrs of riding) 😉
Its only 2kg lighter than my 2005 1200gs and the weights higher up . I've done 5500miles in 6 months since I bought the gs for £4000 with full luggage at 24440 miles . I think I will stick with the old GS I would have lost more than my beemer cost by now😁😁
thanks for your review, can't wait to drive this nice one. And yes, the green one is fancy 🙂
The ocean green is a unique color for sure. This bike will replace my 2021 Triumph Tiger 850s when it hits US dealers. I really miss my DL1000. I don't need cruise control as I use an Atlas throttle lock. Looks like a great travel bike!
Hello, what's not to like about the Triumph Tiger 850?
@aleksios2 , nothing really. It's a fine motorcycle and I have 34k miles on it now. However, I had a Suzuki DL1000 and after 80k miles, I traded it in. Well, I miss the old girl and want to get another Vstrom.
DE for Me...just might be hitting the trails one day....Oh and the Blue one is my choice
I am definitely going to demo this bike!!!
Bikes are getting so so good today!
I wanted to purchase one, but found out Suzuki sends to the USA the green color, the only one available! C’ mon Suzuki bring all 3 colors to the USA! Love the blue one! 😊
I may have missed it but you didn't mention the shorter wheelbase, or did you? The different rake angle of the front forks would shorten the wheelbase. That would affect the handling a fair bit. It is also shorter than the 650. I have ridden the 800DE and it is a wonderful bike. Very confidence inspiring and more fun than my Transalp 750, sorry Honda but it's true. Really looking forward to riding the 800RE. My Suzuki dealership are very confident that they will sell loads of RE's and I have to agree. Well done Suzuki. Why is it an SE in Europe? (I think).
This is the bike I was waiting for!
The pegs on the DE Drag. So they moved them up and back a little
Still would choose the yellow DE. Even though I'd probably never go offroad, it just looks fantastic.
Steel Green, looks pretty good also because different to what all others have as colours. Looking forward to testing it .
I think this gonna be a sale topper
The 19" front is so much better than a 21" on the street and of course it has tubeless tires - this is the one most of us should want. This seems like a very nice package with a nice TFT dash and sweet power train, but the lack of cruise is a huge miss on any ride by wire equipped bike that has any sort of of distance riding aspirations. Cheaping out on the suspension by removing the adjustability feature sucks too.
I will echo some of the sentiments already expressed. More colour options - my concern with the green was that I initially thought it was grey. A colour that blends into the road too much. I recently checked out the 800DE and 1050 Vstrom finding both saddles too high for my tastes. (the 1050 does have cruise control! Why doesn't the 800?!) A more road oriented option is welcome, more so with the lower saddle. I will be sure to take one out for a test ride when these are released.
And no cruise control?
Cant believe it
No bike in this segment has it if im not mistaken.
Your Not. But why? All Ride by wire. It's only a Button. And i would pay 4 the extra
@@39rbn61 f750, 850 gs, new f900 and 800 gs, ktm 790, 890 adventure..
No cruise is a deal breaker . The new BMW is looking better all the time. Looking for a new bike for my wife and cruise is something she wants after riding my GS .
Im excited for this bike, even though i ride a gen 1 vstrom 650. If i was going to trade up id get that awesome metallic green
green looks great
It seems to me to be a great commuting bike. I will be getting one soon for my daily journey to a casino.
I'm surprised they didn't just throw the cast wheels on and call it done.
Thanks for the great - as always - content!
I also love the green version and put this bike on my wishlist.
MOTOBOB, do you have any information when the press test for this bike will be held as I'm looking forward to the first ride reviews.
I’m so disappointed Suzuki hasn’t included cruise control with this new 800RE. If they had, I’d be placing an order immediately with my local dealer. I’ve previously owned a 2013 DL650 which was a very reliable commuter and all-purpose bike for six years, before I traded it in for a 2020-model standard (non-XT) DL1050; I don’t want spokes. That was the correct decision for me at the time, but my commute has changed to include more motorway and of course we’re now riding in restricted average-speed zones all over the place in the UK and need to protect our licences. Hence, cruise control is now a very important factor in a work-horse motorcycle which the V-Stroms have always been great at. I guess Suzuki doesn’t want to cannibalize sales of the bigger bikes (2023 DL1050 and GSX-S1000GT), but the lack of cruise on this otherwise perfect-for-my-needs bike is, I’m afraid, going to send me looking elsewhere. The DL1050 is excellent but heavy, the GT (which I’ve ridden and liked a lot) has way more power than I need and doesn’t have great tank range. This new RE would have been the ‘Goldilocks’ bike I’ve been waiting for (size, weight, economy, reliability, comfort, range, cast wheels, price etc.), but alas, such a thing doesn’t exist, I guess. Maybe if an aftermarket electronic cruise control system becomes available (e.g. MCcruise), then it could work for me, but it may be too late by then as another manufacturer may have solved my conundrum.
I expect the accountants at Suzuki will approve cruise control for this bike when they refresh it slightly in 2 - 3 years (as they did with the base DL1050), but only after having predictably watched sales go elsewhere. It really could have been an easily included USP amongst the Japanese middle-weight road-biased ADVs. Never mind, the weather forecast is sunny tomorrow - time to give the DL1050 the beans on a rare weekend leisure ride.
Same here..
I wish they did a dedicated street model with a supermoto look with 17 inch front and rear. Sort of like a long legged GSX-8S
This might come as well as an GSX-S 8 GT... basicly like a Yamaha Tracer 7 competitor
Nothing stopping you buying a hub and lacing up a 17" rim,Hessler supply them, or seeing if a G8S wheel slips right in?
Suzuki has to start manufacturing Retro style Scrambler motorcycles along with the VStorm Adventure motorcycles.I liked your video🎉
I'm thinking about buying the RE more of HWY drive than off road. The colors are a little dull. I prefer the color of the DE
The DE is exactly what I want out of a bike. But no cruise control is a huge deal breaker.
suzuki engines is smooth and power
Now, this is my champion!
you have the best reviews !
i think i would go for the 800 re or the gsx 8 naked with 80/ 20 tires.
i love naked scamblers.
i wonder if a manual throttle lock would suffice instead of a cc..especially when on a boring motorway? Ive never used one but might be a cheap and cheerful.solution?
Looks absolutely amazing. Defo a contender 👍
I really like it apart from the colours offered , only available in the boring dark blue , black wheels though in Australia , if available in the 8s blue with blue wheels would of been much sharper looking and would of got more interest imo
RE reminds me of the F-700/800 from BMW… and not in a bad way.
Seems like a good alternative to a second hand BMW.
bmw are crap
@@roadwarrior8560 Why? Because you can't afford one? :P
@@roadwarrior8560 Ridden many over they years, deffo not crap, just unaffordable.
That’s going to be a cracking road bike , very tempted 👍🙋🏻♂️
Looks good. The RE.
I’d like to see a comparison with the Yamaha Tracer 7GT
I own a 2008 R1200GS, but I would like something smaller, like the Tiger 900 GT Pro. As soon as I win the lottery, I'll buy one 😅
I hate this game all the manufacturers keep playing by leaving out cruise control on smaller displacement bikes to try and upsell you to the larger models. Complete BS!
Green is nice. Thanks a lot
How is it a V Strom when it doesn't have a V engine anymore?
The 270 degrees crank... i suppose
Guess, they changed / explained it like the V for versatile 🥳🥺 … you can’t substitite a real V-Twin 🤬🤬🤬
I like it, and I accept it, but I will wait another year for mechanical issues to be known and for hopefully brighter paint (US versions here). Also, I'm wondering about cornering ground clearance.
hey thanks..
was thinking this could be for me.
after136,000kms on a 2013 DL 650.
needed to raise seat height
and found the pegs a bit to forward..giving poor leg relief and lower back strain over long distances...
hopefully the changes suzuki have made to this model may suit me..
thinking I may have to raise the seat as well...on this one too...?
cheers gerry
The 650 is comfortable and easy (though i could use some extra power), the 1050 has great engine and brakes (though i would change the seat). Could the 800 be the ideal combination? I shall definitely give her a test ride.
I want to compare it to the Tiger Sport 850. Still think Triumph is a grade up, albeit with less electronics.
I'm stumped why they moved the foot pegs. Seems like most people that have ridden the 800DE wanted them a bit lower and/or forward LOL
Green for me
RE all day!
This is more a practical bike
Green
Well with the US transalp hp being down 9%. I think i will have the suzuki for the torque.
This is near perfect
I wonder how this will compare to bikes made in China. Ktm790, CF800, Morini and Benelli. I think in longer term it should beat them hands down, and price looks verry competitive.
any news on Kawasaki, the seem to be sleeping
Hi mate
Any vibration after 130 km???
HI sir, pl compare Vtrom RE vs BMW GS 800!!
DE for me some day in the next year or so maybe sooner if?
How does anyobe make a ride by wire bike without Cruise
Great bike
Well Robert, can we have a comparison of Suzuki V-Strom 800RE vs KTM 790 Duke please?
The Suzuki will be reliable and the KTM won't. Will that do?
but why not the 1050?
Nice
Cant believe they did not add cruise control . Guess I will wait another year.
No CC at all, most people do not want it.
why not get the gsx8s instead?
Oh yes of course "the peak power might put it at a bit of a disadvantage" Way too weak for a beginner they need at least 175bhp. I wouldn't have expected anything else 🙄
And what about experienced riders who want this package but more reasonable HP similar to its competition?
Power is fine by me, but the lack of cruise control especially on a tour focused bike in 2023 is a deal breaker.
@@Marc-zf3xv I was having a pop at motobob who seems obsessed with spec sheets and anything other then a super naked is underpowered in his eyes
Does 270degree crank always mean handlebar vibes? I sold my tiger 900gt pro as it did my hands in riding to turkey and back. I’m a newish rider and still learning.
No
Was ready to go pick up a RE tomorrow. Then I remembered that there is no cruise, something that Suzuki could have added for a few bucks. Guess I will pass.
cheap option a throttle lock is .
Like the look,very nice.😊😊😊😊👍🏻
Unbelievable ❤
Nice they lower the seat . 855mm is not a beginner friendly high
Cruise control is not an option but a must for a road oriented bike
No

Tubeless spoked wheels have been around a while now. How Suzuki have not fitted this feature is genuinely beyond me. Their R&D dept. would want a boot in the head.
They already have them on the 650 Vstrom with spiked wheels. Can’t make them in 21”?
Some dirt riders don't like tubeless and tubed is cheaper.
@@kkattrap You can still fit a tube in a rim made for tubeless, you can’t really do the opposite.
@@kkattrap ...and if you damage the rim you could be focked with TL
@@903lew I guess the design they are using on the 650XT results in a very heavy 21” wheel.
With a metal plate and 13 screws in my right arm no cruise control is a deal breaker for me which is disappointing as this bike ticks so many other boxes.
That is a valid reason for CC, perhaps it should be an option with a mini PCB that plugs into the main PCB (or motherboard if you prefer)?
...universallyty bike 🤙
Not having cruise control on a touring bike in this day and age is a complete miss....
Probably cost them 59 percent of sales by that alone.
@@philipparana9225 No
No, not if you dont use it. Useless in the rain. I would not buy a bike with cruise cos I dont use it and I am not gonna pay extra for something I wont use. Lots of people dont want cruise.
£20Grand cheaper than the new loaded GS1300...sure you could afford McCruise, as an add on...the bike is under £10k?
Still no cruise control... they just don't understand the market. BMW and KTM will be happy.
...and Piaggio Group (Aprilia Tuareg and Guzzi V85TT both have cruise).
Oh yes they do
good compitition for the new bmw GS, at least this ones front seems reasonable.🤣god it is ugly though !
Do not blame God.
No cruise?
C'mon Suzuki
For a few £000 more the F 900 GSA, an all better bike than the rest
I only see the quick shifter as a real advantage over my 2008 650, rest is fluff.
Its a lot better than the 650. I have had 2, the mk2 and the mk3. You may be surprised. But then it costs quite a bit too 😉
