Suzuki V-Strom 800RE track test

I join IAM Roadsmart for one of its motorcycle skills days on the Suzuki V-Strom 800 RE, a touring/commuter bike with the same engine as the GSX-8R sports bike ridden on the channel recently.
Suzuki GSX-8R ride review:
This event is one of a series of Skills Days IAM Roadsmart runs for both cars and bikes, offering a controlled environment in which to learn road skills in a controlled and safe environment. So, less about speed and more about the core skills of advanced driving away from the stress and distraction of the public road.

My thanks to the IAM Roadsmart team for having me along on the event.

Hello, I tried the DE version and I loved this bike. Even if it is not the most beautiful, it is very effective. I plan to order the SE version and the same color. Good video and good luck. Hello from France

How you can commentate and run round those corners with intent...admirable!! Looks good fun.

Good to meet you. Some really impressive riding for someone who’s only been on bikes for a year, Kev ( on the blue Tiger 1200 ).

[@XylemFlow]

Great fun I'd say.

Good to see Suzuki putting a sensible front mudguard on

I really enjoyed watching that as I did the same skills day at Mallory Park on my Transalp a couple of years ago. The bike looks good.

Really don't need to drawn out rider cam, its uninteresting to watch. Appreciate the feedback for the RE, looks like a capable machine.

In Ireland it's called the Vstrom 800RE, 12,150 euros too!!

[@judge831]

Is the 8R as comfortable? Is the RE as fun as the 8R? Which do you think makes a better weekend bike?

[@LaurentLaborde]

i assume you meant "SE". The "RE" doesn't not exist

[@podunkman2709]

This NOT adventure motorcycle. Can you go with it to wilderness of south america?
