Our take on the V-Strom 800
Its 776cc parallel twin pulls strongly low in the rev range, and the 270-degree crank gives it power delivery that recalls Suzuki's V-twins along with an exhaust note all its own that sounds fantastic on a mountain pass. On pavement the 800 feels nimble and planted with comfort for long days, while the 800DE, the most dirt-capable V-STROM, is a thrill on a gravel road and gets more fun as the pavement ends.
Day to day, the 800 is the easier companion on the street, with a lower 32.5-inch seat and a hand-operated rear preload adjuster for adding a passenger or bags. Its radiator guard and undercover help when the trail gets rough. Both carry a 5.3-gallon tank and a resin luggage rack with grab bars.
What the reviewers say
“The "standard" 800 is a marvelous street bike. It's very comfortable, handles exceptionally well, has a great motor, has excellent range, and does just fine on maintained county dirt roads.”
Cycle NewsCycle News, July 2024Read the review on Cycle News (opens in a new tab) “Fueling had no hiccups, and the power was delivered in both a spirited and smooth manner. The suspension didn't have excessive dive under braking or squat under hard throttle.”
