Suzuki V-Strom 800 2026

Suzuki V-Strom 800 2026

The Suzuki V-Strom 800 impresses in the travel test with its great balance. It is relaxed to ride in everyday life, remains comfortable on longer journeys and delivers more riding pleasure on winding roads than its sober appearance would suggest. It is precisely this versatility that makes it a strong travelling companion.

easy to handle, yet fun and powerful two-cylinder engine

high level of ride comfort

relaxed ergonomics

good-natured and predictable riding performance

balanced touring qualities

confident on varying tarmac surfaces

Suspension clearly comfort-orientated at very ambitious speeds

limited maximum lean angle

only suitable to a limited extent for rough off-road use (ABS cannot be disengaged)

wind protection for tall riders only okay, not brilliant
