The best mid sized adventure motorcycle? Suzuki VStrom 800DE we really are spoilt for choice when it comes to Adventure bikes. I would class this as being on the big end of the mid sized bikes. Not quite big enough to be classed as one of the big boys. I have owned a 1050 VSTROM so I remember how that was. How does this compare? Join me for a look around and then a test ride.

I have to laugh these days when they class an 800 as a mid sized bike . When I started riding a mid sized bike was 350 to 550 cc & anything over 650 was a super bike . I have always liked Suzukis & Hondas ,mainly because I have never had an issues with them used or brand new . I like the way Suzuki utilise their parts bin, across their range , & usually good discounts lower than the initial list price can usually be had ,once the model has been around a while . If I was looking for a new adventure style bike in the 800 ish size the DE would probably be top of my short list . 👍

It’s very much on the high side of mid sized. 😂. Still a very capable bike that will keep up with the bigger bikes. It goes like stink.

@@GillyBikes To be honest my 200O Y model Bandit reg in 2001 , which I flogged to downside further was more than adequate for real life everyday riding . It had 79 hp & a top speed of around 130 mph ,would cruise all day at 80 to 90 odd mph , loads of mid range stonk . You couldn’t even use all that power on normal roads ,without some homicidal motorist pulling out on you ,or loosing your licence . So 800cc should be more than enough to tour Europe even two up ,on that Suzi DE 800 twin. 👍

Completely agree. There is an obsession with everyone wanting ridiculously large engines bikes with over 100 horsepower and you just don’t need it. These bikes will do everything you need and more.

@@GillyBikes When my sister passed her bike test , she went straight out & bought a 1200 . I asked her why , & she said oh you have got to get the biggest engine you can afford ,if you pass your test . This is the mentality fostered these days ,by the motorcycle media . I reckon riders are to want to eventually ride the large powerful bikes , they will get better & more experience by gradually working their way up from small to medium & then large cc bikes . I don’t see the point of 100 hp on roads with 20 - 70 mph speed limits & a plethora of so called safety cameras . 👍

It’s only when you get wiser and realise you don’t need it. If I realised sooner I would have saved a fortune 😳

@andyc750 27 дней назад

An 800 is a big mid sized bike lol, and I would think the weight distribution and center of gravity is lower on this than your 1050 making it more manageable

@fatange Месяц назад

I think it looks much better than the 1050 version you had. I don’t know how they get bright yellow to work with that grey colour but I really like it.

@GillyBikes Месяц назад

I agree. The light set up is better. And the colour scheme does work. I like it. On paper the grey and yellow shouldn’t work but it really does 👍

Another Gilly review, another drizzly day .. when will the weather improve? :( .. nice review though, bike looks good :)

@GillyBikes Месяц назад

Cheers. The weather is strange. We should have started summer by now but it’s still cold and miserable. Hopefully start to see some blue sky in the next few weeks. The bike was awesome. Really impressed with it.

@geecee4746 Месяц назад

Not really a fan of the looks, but its such a great bike to ride, that id buy one in a heartbeat

@GillyBikes Месяц назад

Classic adventure bike styling. Not the best looking but definitely one of the best for riding.

@chrisbrownbill3150 Месяц назад

Nice review mate, would you say the DE or RE would be a suitable first big bike? Imt 6 ft tall and I think seat height wouldn't be an issue, opinion would be appreciated.

@GillyBikes Месяц назад

Both good options and at your height they will fit you nicely. If you’re planning on the occasional dirt road then I would go for the DE. I think the DE is slightly taller but only by a centimetre or so. Not really noticeable.

It's a completely different bike to the 1050, the 1050 v strom is a "v"twin whereas the 800 is a parallel twin with a 270 degree crank.You forgot to mention that the 800de has fully adjustable suspension for damping and pre load front and rear . I changed my 1050 for the 800de and have no regrets

@ionescugeorge2003 29 дней назад

What version of 1050 did you have? How do you find the touring capability of the 800DE to the 1050? Is it a big difference?

@GillyBikes 29 дней назад

I would have no regrets either. It’s a better bike 👍

@GillyBikes 29 дней назад

@ionescugeorge2003 I had the standard 1050. It was great for touring apart from the seat. After a days riding I was in pain. The last tour I took it on had me riding all day for 5 days straight. I was in agony by the time I got home. The 800de seems to have no issues with power. Feels lighter and the seat was a much needed improvement

@@GillyBikesagreed, the seat on the 800 is a revelation, very comfy ....
