Both the Transalp and 800DE fail at providing tubeless setup. Giving tubes on an ADV bike in India north of 10lakhs where even highways have stray nails and debris, is literally a sin. Atleast the Transalp has an option to swap the rear with an Africa Twin but the Suzuki has nothing in this regard. Maybe Outex conversion but thats more like a hack😢
Absolutely! The v strom re is the perfect bike for the indian market. They got a bike for 5 guys who take their bike off road and have come up empty handed for the remaining 95 of bikers who ride entirely on road / Tarmac
@@ashwinoashwin Yess. The 800 RE makes perfect sense for India. Lesser seat height, alloys, better brakes, easy 2-up touring. The lack of proper mid segment tourer ADVs in India is crazy. Hope KTM brings in 690 twins with a touring bias.
Comparing with a different bike all through the video makes the review ‘why?’. I’ve seen this bike has been getting beaten on trails. Western media’s has high praise for the bike contrast from your comments. I like Rishad and his reviews but not this one.
Why are continuously bringing in the Honda Transalp ?? This is a ride review , you can point out cons in other way, this feels more like comparison video, it would have been great a another video with transalp and have comparison video. Otherwise cheers 👍
Honda 750 engine is an unexpected gem and definitely worth the extra money. But Suzuki makes sense as a better overall product and should probably do better in India. With the big KTMs also due on our shores soon, the big bike scene in India is finally maturing.
@@abhishekdasgupta1640 KTM make very good adv bikes but still they have a reputation to go bad easily as compared to their Japanese counterparts.. One thing I have observed, in European countries their insurance companies don't cover the electronic components for KTM as ktm comes with loads of electronics functions and adjustment and they come as a pack. They are expensive to repair so companies don't cover it.. and people find it difficult to find companies who cover them or have a premium quotation for it. That's one point but yeah the 890 adv R got a really good suspension top shelf and a really good low centre of gravity and handling.. but the 'R' model would be too tall for an average Indian person.
@@aditya.ishan27 I got your point bro. Thanks for sharing your view. Ktm adventure 890r seat height being 880mm is significantly in the higher side for an average indian male but not significantly higher than the suzuki vstrom 800D, Transalp 750.
C'mon guys, such well done content with Rishaad at the helm and yet no proper soundbites (preferably binaural) of the engine/ exhaust/ mechanicals? Will give the many viewers the much needed connect to the reviews :)
every international and national riders have only good to say about suzuki 800DE but this guy seems to be very much prejudiced and reviewing as though he has just landed from moon . come on man be realistic and review with good judgement
The v strom 800 re is the perfect bike for the indian market. For every 5 riders who take their bike off road, there are 95 who ride their bike entirely on tarmac. Baffling that Suzuki got the DE to the indian marker knowing fully well the demographics
6:58 I tested both the Suzuki and the transalp on the same day and under similar heat conditions and I found that the Honda transalp heat is way more tolerable in comparison with the Suzuki v-strom and since I have just a one bike garage and I will need to ride in city traffic so considering the heat I purchased the Honda
So after watching both the review videos of transalp750 & vstrom 800, it can clearly be concluded that Honda transalp 750 will anyday be a better deal. Japanese engineering at its very best!
According to autocar review yes , but not everyones review especially international reviews, according to them transalp is nowhere near comfortable as v strom, quick shifter as std, fully adjustable suspension, switching modes,tc and everything on the go is only there in the suzuki,low end grunt is better on the suzuki,got 2 counter balancers on the engine which made engine smoother than the honda and the list goes on....if you are looking for one go test ride yourself and make a descision I've never ridden an adv motorcycle above NX500 so i don't know what these are actually capable of
@@midhungopan9270 thank you for sharing your views brother, I really appreciate. Actually being a Honda fan I am bit inclined towards Honda always no matter what. Also currently a owner of Honda bigwing bike as well.

Firstly it's a privilege to see you and I hav been watching all your videos and tips that you share with bikers are top-notch, many buyers have been influenced by your review over buying their decisions I need your help over choosing the between triumph tiger 850 and v-strom 800 de Since this both motorcycles appear to have similar spec on papers I need your help in deciding with respect to reliability , maintenance and resale value in the Indian market
what an incredible bike really liked it , there a big but for me, too heavy n too much seat height, i am a short guy, no company is catering to shorter guys, n seems overpriced, hence skipping this....
So excited for the new 776cc engine but they could have gone with inline 4 cylinder. I know it's irrelevant for this v storm but the Gixxer is also coming and with that 800cc a parallel twin would have been more great sounding sports bike
owning a RTR310 spoiled me, now i am aiming for a 765 rs in my garage and that too if it gets a better, powerful headlamp. else none of these bikes matter for night highway or backroad drives.

A 4k video from Autocar?!
Man the cat😂
Nah
New fx3
Autocar India in 4K ? Am I in Dreamland ?
Nah
Exactly 😂😂
Finally you listened, 4k video 🙌
No kidding. Their other videos looked straight out of doordarshan TV.
Comparing with a different bike all through the video makes the review ‘why?’. I’ve seen this bike has been getting beaten on trails. Western media’s has high praise for the bike contrast from your comments. I like Rishad and his reviews but not this one.
Wait! It was a v-storm review yet I somehow heard "Honda transalp" more times. Do justice...😅
Why are continuously bringing in the Honda Transalp ?? This is a ride review , you can point out cons in other way, this feels more like comparison video, it would have been great a another video with transalp and have comparison video.
Otherwise cheers 👍
no cruise control and tubeless tyre?? on a 13 lac bike🤔
Cruise control and tubeless tires are for street bikes. Go buy a street bike.
Looks like a CKD unit since it has that horrendous saree guard.
😂😂😂 good observation bro
What is CKD
@@aaykay4060 CKD means completely knocked down. These are vehicles that are imported in parts & are assembled at the dealership or factory locally.
Finally We got Autocar in 4k before GTA 6
Honda 750 engine is an unexpected gem and definitely worth the extra money. But Suzuki makes sense as a better overall product and should probably do better in India. With the big KTMs also due on our shores soon, the big bike scene in India is finally maturing.
Are the KTMs equally reliable to those of japanese giants like Honda & suzuki?? What's your take on this bro?🤔🤔

I'm watching a Suzuki review and all I hear is HONDA! Honda this... Honda that... why can't you just stay neutral ?
Only drawback in Suzuki is they don’t have proper big bike showrooms
C'mon guys, such well done content with Rishaad at the helm and yet no proper soundbites (preferably binaural) of the engine/ exhaust/ mechanicals? Will give the many viewers the much needed connect to the reviews :)
Clearly see the reviewer favouring transalp when he said Suzuki seat is less comfortable that the one on transalp
Any idea when T7 will come ?
Guys can you look into the new Benelli TRK 552 & 552X.
Nobody's interested in the chapri chinese sasti Italian
Did they update those bikes?
@@sameerkharade7750yes in china, soon launching in Europe.
Hi Rishaad now a days you are not coming to two wheeler reviews, why, other people are coming , its very difficult to watch....
every international and national riders have only good to say about suzuki 800DE but this guy seems to be very much prejudiced and reviewing as though he has just landed from moon . come on man be realistic and review with good judgement
Same thing goes to my mind too
Wow, i was thinking the same thing.
It looks weird from rear
And from front,
And from sides too..!!
Even Anushka has that peculiar rear segment comprising a trellis frame and semi independent suspension 😂.
@@RinchenSangrup
That was dark 🌑

The v strom 800 re is the perfect bike for the indian market. For every 5 riders who take their bike off road, there are 95 who ride their bike entirely on tarmac. Baffling that Suzuki got the DE to the indian marker knowing fully well the demographics
What I don’t like in any of these big bikes are those bbq grill called Saare guard on them the most ridiculous law of RTOs spoiling the looks.
I few sorry for you guys by having to put those terrible ugly rear guards on the bike LOL. Someone in the India government should cancel this law.
6:58 I tested both the Suzuki and the transalp on the same day and under similar heat conditions and I found that the Honda transalp heat is way more tolerable in comparison with the Suzuki v-strom and since I have just a one bike garage and I will need to ride in city traffic so considering the heat I purchased the Honda
finally high res video! looks sharp! Everyone's surprised it seems
so basically vstrom 650 is better than both 800 de and transalp .
I am the first to comment.
Grow up
So after watching both the review videos of transalp750 & vstrom 800, it can clearly be concluded that Honda transalp 750 will anyday be a better deal.
Japanese engineering at its very best!
Suzuki is japenese too
@@prateeksharma2360 yes brother. Both are japanese giants, I just shared my views & preferences

The script is the best
Waiting too much for T700 world raid in India
232 Kg. No thanks
Lovely review Rishaad!
Sounds like a good bike, is this better than the versys?
Also 6000k km service interval is just bad.
The 800DE is heads and tails better than any Versys at being an Adventure bike. No reviewer is reviewing the Versys.
@@jonwoodworker Yeah true that but also I don't think the Versys has come out with a new bike in a while.
Love the video, Rishaad! Almost sold on the bike, love the crisp video
Why always honda when it is v-strom video
there should be a vstrom 450
Firstly it's a privilege to see you and I hav been watching all your videos and tips that you share with bikers are top-notch, many buyers have been influenced by your review over buying their decisions
I need your help over choosing the between triumph tiger 850 and v-strom 800 de
Since this both motorcycles appear to have similar spec on papers
I need your help in deciding with respect to reliability , maintenance and resale value in the Indian market
4K content! A welcome change
what an incredible bike really liked it , there a big but for me,
too heavy n too much seat height, i am a short guy, no company is catering to shorter guys, n seems overpriced, hence skipping this....
They do care about them and they are providing lower seat height seats as accessory
the V-storm 650 was much better looking bike, this one looks so bad, and these colors makes things even worse
Such a steep pricing on underpowered machines is not at all justifiable.
Black strip above and below the video looks very bad
Specially on the fullscreen
So excited for the new 776cc engine but they could have gone with inline 4 cylinder. I know it's irrelevant for this v storm but the Gixxer is also coming and with that 800cc a parallel twin would have been more great sounding sports bike
owning a RTR310 spoiled me, now i am aiming for a 765 rs in my garage and that too if it gets a better, powerful headlamp. else none of these bikes matter for night highway or backroad drives.
AutoCar India though recorded vdo in 4K, I'm the one who is watching @360
All that money. No tubless tyres, no center stand. Nice
Absolute deal breaker if it doesn't get tubeless tyres at this price.
Bro please share Bengaluru service details.
what in the heck is that metal crap near the swing arm!!!!
When will Yamaha get the T7 to India??? Or will they ever get it here?
That slide in the end - sweet.
Never go back to 1080p again.
man .. what happened to Suzuki ....😌
Have the budget but need a different colour altogether
The colour combination looks😐😐
Journalist off road basics went for a toss
I think the video aspect ratio is a bit off
Give alloys n tubless tyres.
This bike is so Ugly.
Great video loved it!!!
Tubed tyre.
Great video 🎉
that suspension is way too springy not a good thing.
Both front and rear monoshocks are fully adjustable,just stiffen it as per your liking

In indiA HIMALAYAN 450 IS ENOUGH
Any chances of the 800RE launching in India?
Already Launched

13:56 should've mentioned Kochi instead of Ernakulam (both are same). The name "Kochi" is more popular.
