Would you consider a V-Strom 800RE over its rivals? Let us know below 👇

@darylneal989 8 месяцев назад

Maybe. If fit for purpose. 2025 model.

@thodoris3790 8 месяцев назад

yes i would.transalp 21 front with tubes noway,tracer 7 too little,versys 650 is for the nursing home.this is the best choise,with a nicer windscreen and an aftermaret exhaust

@903lew 8 месяцев назад

@@thodoris3790 My issue with the Versys (which by all means is a great bike for most people) is the engine. Terribly vibey and not at all what one can consider “fun”. 270 cranks FTW.

@AndyPat239 2 месяца назад

i like the look of this bike and would suit my style of riding..

@GripEngineering 9 дней назад

@903lew Very fun engine in the '24 Ninja 650 I have, and I don't find it transferring vibes in that application. Versys uses the older frame and is literally 60 lbs heavier (80 lbs with the Kaw panniers). Test rode both the same day; loved the Ninja, wished the test loop was shorter with the Versys.

@MikeK6046 8 месяцев назад

IMO (just flapping my lips) for approximately 75% +/- of the riders out there this V-Strom 800RE (and a few other middle-weights in the marketplace) is 100% of what they "need" to enjoy riding the real roads of life. Now as for "wants", that is a different story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Panos-xo9rc 2 месяца назад

Drove it an hour ago,so here's my take. The windscreen is inadequate. The engine feels definitely restricted,obviously due to the stupid emmisions crusade. Other than that the bike is easy,comfortable,neutral,has enough power to pull it's weight respectably both in mountainous terrain and the highway,and it is not problematic at all in heavy traffic. Controls are easy,and the gearbox is very,very nice. A good,or rather very good commuter/allrounder.

@shone8866 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback. Currently I'm on 2020 650XT and considering 800RE as an upgrade

@Panos-xo9rc 2 месяца назад

@@shone8866 never drove a strom 650 but i had the SV650 mk3 for 6 years and 70K kms. I loved it...This new engine is more powerful but not extraordinarily so. Let us say that if you travel solo and without a ton of luggage you are OK,if you know what i mean. Anyway ,i suggest you to test drive it in a hilly,twisty terrain if possible. This makes or breaks a bike afaic.

I have a VStrom 650 and took a look at the DE when it hit the dealers, I liked it but then rumours of the RE came along. I'm off to the NEC to have a look and a sit. Cruise control! I have had it in loads of cars and hardly use it, I certainly don't need it on a bike, even a bike I would use for touring.... so, can't wait to take a proper look.

@paridmalita4987 6 месяцев назад

Agree 100 %. Thought I was the only one that didn’t bother using Cruise Control

@Panos-xo9rc 2 месяца назад

@@paridmalita4987 you are not alone,cruise control is a gimmick. And quickshifter too,i never use it on my MT09 and it is completely alien on the 800 RE.

@mikec9162 7 месяцев назад

Comparing middleweight motorcycles. When I bought my '23 Vstrom 650 I looked at the 800. Other than a larger motor displacement I didn't see any advantages of the 800. The 650 has a proven record for reliability and durability and loads of aftermarket parts and accessories. The 650 rideability is extraordinary for a middle weight even at highway speeds. I would give the 800 two more years of consumer feedback before giving up on the DL650. They may even put cruise control on one or the other, or both by then. Lastly in my world [ with 700cc being the upper threshold ]there is a 30% savings in insurance premiums between the two.

@ADobbin1 Месяц назад

biggest problem with the 650 is that is looks dated and the engine on the 800 actually appears far more fuel efficient compared to the 650.

@mikec9162 Месяц назад

@@ADobbin1 Perhaps. I just came off an 850km trip through the North Cascades and averaged 22.1 km/l. That seems pretty good. I definitely like the looks of the 800. Really nice looking in the real.

Can't wait to see this bike in a comparison to the Tiger 850 and the Transalp! My next commuterbike might be one of those.. Or spend the same amount on a 4 year old 850GS? Any advice is welcome.

@dreamcrusher112 8 месяцев назад

Warranty is useful for a commuter, having it recovered to the dealer for free if it breaks.

@richardhretczak536 8 месяцев назад

One year old Transalp or this one.

@podunkman2709 8 месяцев назад

You do not have to wait. I will tell u it right now. Why u compare this bike to Transalp? The differences are EVIDENT. Transalp is an adventure bike. This one is just road/touring bike. 850GS is as well adventure one (more road oriented because of the weight). Tiger? Before going this option check out real fuel consumption 😊

@903lew 8 месяцев назад

A wise man once said ‘always buy the warranty’. If I was commuting on the thing that would be my main concern.

@kkhalifah1019 8 месяцев назад

Wish this was launched 2.5 years ago before I bought my Tiger 850 commuter bike. I think it trades serious blows with the Triumph, although it does have a few more electronic farkles like the quickshifter and 1 more rider mode (which I really don't care for when riding to work). My bike does about 350km per tank down to the last bar, with 1-2 litres to spare.

I don't find my 2017 XT to be too heavy at all. It's not a particularly exciting bike, but it's a great affordable choice if you can only have one machine in the stable. I don't know what's "V" in this bike. Sticking with the moniker while losing the L-twin seems a tad cringey to me.

When in opening you state this is a down graded DE, it places a negative perception upon th.e RE model. You communicate that very well you'd rather be on a sports bike with more than 88bhp, cruise control, adjustible suspension and a 17 inch front wheel.
