2024 SUZUKI V STROM 800, superb comfort for long-distance touring‼️ 

I have a 2022 Suzuki V-Strom 650 and am looking to upgrade to V-Strom 800 for a bit more power. I saw one at a dealer last weekend, I was able to sit on it but not test-ride because it's a winter here in Upstate New York, lol. I noticed that the seat and handlebars are a bit lower than on my 650 which matches the specs I saw. My knees were slightly more bent when sitting on the bike compared to my 650, but not getting the opportunity to test-ride it I cannot tell if this would be an issue. But this is definitely a concern as comfort is number one priority for me. I am 6'2" with 34" inseam, and my 650 provides a VERY comfortable upright riding position with virtually zero stress on my wrists. I would be extremely interested in getting some feedback about comfort from taller riders who rode both 650 and 800. Another thing that makes me a bit wary is the fact that while the V-twin of 650 has proven to be a workhorse, the parallel twin on 800 is new and could still have some design flaws... I would like to thank everyone in advance for all their thoughts and comments.

Rode one today, great bike 👍

Too bad you were not allowed a road test.
