The Suzuki V-Strom DL800RE is a road-orientated version of the DL800DE. They have by no means just slapped smaller cast wheels on a DE, there are many other changes to this machine to focus it on road riding! Join me as I test it out and compare it to the DL800DE.

finally someone who's not complaining for cruise control

@blackskunk54 10 месяцев назад

how refreshing

@exothermal.sprocket 9 месяцев назад

Said the people who've never used one. And yes I've been on a 4,000+ mile trip on a sports-type motorcycle at a lot of that was expressway slog against wind with nothing to do but cover miles. If I didn't have a throttle-lock (not a cruise but the next best thing), my right arm would have cramped in agony. It's a travel bike, use travel features. They put cruise control on a S1000RR for crying out loud.

@thodoris3790 9 месяцев назад

dude,take it easy.not every rider do 4000+ trips.mos tof us commute and do sort trips and fun rides.and also we dont all live in america with the endless straight highways@@exothermal.sprocket

@MotoTourIreland 4 месяца назад

Excelent video. I found your channel looking for v-strom reviews. Subscribed. It's a good bike.and has tubeless tyres (what u doin' Transalp) which is a deal breaker for me. If it has ride by wire then cruise control should be an option.

@marktaylor4277 10 месяцев назад

I test rode this bike a few days ago and can agree with all you said, it's a great Road Explorer bike in so many respects. However... and I think this is an isolated case - but mine started vibes at 4k, peaked at just over 5.5 and tailed off mostly by 6k, mirrors were affected at times & so riding at night might be a problem.. with this particular one. That bike, cruise control and a taller screen must be a dream bike for so many. Didn't realise you were so tall, wish I had your range of neck movement.

@blackskunk54 10 месяцев назад

I noticed the mirrors thing too. Put me off a bit.

Suzuki are knocking it out of the park at the moment. That 800 engine is a brilliant real world unit. The transalp is a good bike but seems bland in comparison to the 800 Suzuki,to me that is .....

I went solely to the NEC to look at the green one, it left me cold,blue certainly has better paint...jury is still out with me,jumping on the GSX-S950 was probably a mistake, it costs as much to uncork that,as it's K5 sisters...probably a better buy?

I'm also 6'4" and can't decide between 8s, 800DE or 800RE (mainly for the city and road, but maybe infrequently gravel). My dealer does not have 800s to test or sit on, but the 8s is quite comfy. So, if you had the same choice, what would you pick? Thanks!

@spicy110 10 месяцев назад

If it were me I think I would go for the RE, The 8s is great but clearly not for off-road. The DE is great too but I think I would rather have the bike aimed for the road if it is mainly used there.

@garystratton8731 4 месяца назад

Honest answer which would you choose between the RE and DE. Do you feel the RE is a lot better handling with the smaller front wheel. I love the colours of the DE but only road ride so feel the RE would be better. Wish they did the RE in better colours!!

@spicy110 4 месяца назад

I only give honest opinions haha For me as I would use it in the road most of the time and greenlane now and then I would get the RE, same reason I have street tries on my DRZ400sm even though I go greenlaning on it.

No seriously, I would like a episode explaining how they work. I have never tried one to know what they do and how they do it.

Different ones work in different ways, some only work on upshift. The 800DE quickshifter is a cracker and is bi-directional.

So it removes the need for clutch actuation for gear changes? I said I was dim witted!😂

@MikeK6046 10 месяцев назад

Yes sir it does, "all you have to do is release the clutch from a stop, then from then on you never need to use the clutch" - until you come to another stop - it is "kind of" the same/ similar as a paddle shifter on a car, but you use your foot/ shifter to change gears @@robinwells8879

I picked up a 09 DL 650, so far, only put 50 miles on it, ive been impressed with it. Im coming off a 86 kawasaki concours which is wore out, the 09 feels very good. Behaves itself in the muck n dirt, nice n tall for my 6' frame, good power, my only complaints so far are the corbin seat the previous owner put on is *garbage*, the windscreen is a bad joke, and whomever at suzuki thought putting the the oil filter where itll eat crap in the far north needs a wakeup call. Workin on puttin a skidplate on it but aftermarket problems of course. Itchin to put hundreds of miles up the Campbell & Canol roads up here!

@dgomes265 10 месяцев назад

Heated grips and Cruise control will hit it pour if the park and make it a contender to the F900XR. The Transalp if they ever offer a more road focused bike with 19/17 wheels would be a strong contender.

@MikeK6046 10 месяцев назад

Well yes & no (I hear that the F900XR has a clunky quick shifter/ not smooth, as for no cruise control, there are various after-market ones such as the "Atlas Throttle Lock" that are "supposed' to be pretty good?!?. Anyway, it boils down to your likes & preferences.
