    The Suzuki V Strom is a user friendly everyday motorcycle, so mush fun to ride. Point it at a corner and next you know it you are around it. For a bike that cost less than 10K there is a lot of tech on this bike. You can pay more by specking it up. But the base platform is a fantastic machine to start off with.

    Well that was probably the best and most informative bike tests I have watched. No bull just all the info you could want when wanting to know about a new bike. All areas covered like fit, finish, build quality, handling, brakes etc.Well done and will watch out for future tests.

    Bought one last month, same colour. Givi AirFlow dedicated screen is really helping out. LED headlamp is rather poor, added Puig Beam 2.0 dlr lights for better visibility. Otherwise it is great bike. I also have plastic plate mounted under the engine.

    It is a cracking bike, I do feel Suzuki have missed a thing by not offering Cruise Control... but it can be added as an aftermarket thing, and I bet Suzuki will offer it as standard equipment on the next generation...

    This is the type of bike I should be riding. A tiny bit shorter than you but always struggling for leg comfort.
    Its a nice bike with probably one of the best middle capacity parallel twin engines.
    I'm one of those who doesn't like the stacked headlight I'm afraid

    Good morning Sr.
    Thanks for the test and congratulations for your channel.
    I'm looking for this motorcycle and the new bmw f 800 gs.
    ¿How you see this v strom 800 tech for "daily" and maneuverability when stopped?.
    I would like your opinión about this suzuki model.
    Send you a hug from Canary Island, Spain.

    • @the_mad_leprechaun
      @the_mad_leprechaun  5 месяцев назад

      The New Gs 900 is an amazing bike but too expensive to take off road far more powerful than the V Strom. Having said that there is nothing wrong with the V Strom 800 RE or DE! The engine on the Suzuki has less power but is very useful friendly and fun to ride. Tech is easy to use.
      Hope that helps. Hugs from the UK 😘👍

    I know you mentioned this near the end of your (excellent) review, but thought I’d double check: The bike was tall enough so your knees didn’t ache? (I’m 6’3” with 36” inseam.)
    Also: was it top heavy? Or easy to maneuver when stopped?

      Hello Alan. Thank you very much for your message. Keep in mind I have these bikes for about 2 hours. My knees didn’t feel cramped and I really did find the bike comfortable. Also the bike felt really easy to manoeuvre around at low speed. Out of the 2 bikes I tested. DE and RE I preferred the DE! Hope that helped. Murt 👍
