Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can drive into your heart. Probably it is precisely because of this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally adjusted to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent ride-by-wire system, the engine seems more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, the chassis is really well tuned for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good, but tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat because of the somewhat acute knee angle.

Powerful engine from below

fully adjustable chassis

manageable, clever electronic features

quickshifter up/down standard

dynamic design in cool colours.

acute knee angle for riders with long legs

footrests drag early

windshield only adjustable with tools

heavier than many competitors
