I have the same bike, even the same color. Really love the engine, vibration and heat have not really been an issue. I agree, it needs a bit more noise. Stock silencer is nearly silent. I have a Ixil MXR slip on that adds just enough sound with the db reducer in and it's about 1/3 the cost of the Akrapovic. I have a set of EBC HH pads up front, give a little sharper bite than the stock Nissin pads.
I bought the 800de here in Australia and the engine is a real gem. Im not suffering the buzzing or heat issues reported. The suspension could do with some work and thats on the list.
I have had my 800 Re for 2 months now, I agree with Mossy lovely engine, vibrations no different to other bikes, just returned from the isle of Man, handling was very good around the 37 mile track, cant say ive noticed the heat from the engine, sum up, Great bike.
It's not, like Mossy say's a wow bike.But I think there's a lot to be said for how a bike sounds...And how the sound of a bike can transform its appeal.The 800 with a proper pipe sounds incredible and Im glad Mossy is gonna do that mod, And anxious to get his reaction.
Love your review! Some say the 800RE (IMO it's a "very good" do-it-all motorcycle) puts out a lot of engine heat, also that it's pretty buzzy at 75 to 85MPH, have you experienced that?
I bought one last week and my right hand does go a little numb been told once it gets to around 1500 mile on the clockit’s less buzy time will tell I suppose other than that I’m enjoying the bike

Always enjoy listening to Mossy's comments.

I love mine. It's the perfect daily for getting to work sips gas and scoots around traffic nicely
Looking forward to more on the Suzy. Also how do you like the Schubert’s E3
Definitely recommend Hyperpro suspension upgrades. Used it on my 2008 ZZR1400 very good .

Some have complained about vibration on this bike. Did you find it to vibrate too much?
Put a third party cruise control and 19" spoked front wheel in the DE and you will have a 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sport for half the price
I want to buy this bike to replace my 650xt but oh god can’t Suzuki give it some decent colours and gold wheels
Sounds like the vstrom 650. Just does everything so well people call it bland.
👍👍👏
Engine vibration turns righ leg into jelly
Nice review, it didn’t need the stupid music.
I just discovered this bike requires… premium gas! …
Do you use premium, Mossy? Or regular? Any difference in performance?
What the hell is up with that music???
