Yeah, I'm planning on taking a test ride once I'm back in Bengaluru and then decide on my pick. Even the Transalp is on the radar. Thank you.

Pretty good pricing by Suzuki for the 800 DE considering that it comes with a bidirectional Quick Shifter as well.

10.3L ex showroom should translate to around 13.2 to 13.4L on road in BLR.

The TransAlp is 13.96L on road blr with 3 years extended warranty. The Big H always takes it's pound of flesh!

That is very good pricing indeed. They managed to undercut the direct rival T750 and the entry level Triumph and BMW ADVs. Considering the 800 is a substantial update over the 650 Strom, a 1.3-1.5L hike seems very reasonable.

Great pricing by Suzuki! I do wish they came with tubeless spoke wheels like how the 650 XT did. Tubed wheels in 2024 is an abomination!

[Mach_1590]

Very good pricing. But I am still not able to understand why are manufacturers providing tube-type tires on an ADV? How will one pull all that weight, and how roadside puncture shops will deal with premium bikes? Is there a way around this?

[Darkcloud]

As with the Transalp, this too does not come with tubeless tyres. What's the point in putting tubes in these road biased ADVs is beyond me. Nothing other than cost cutting. Simply ruining a good bike imho.

Suzuki has launched their latest Vstorm 800DE at ₹1030000 (ex-showroom).





Main highlights:

• 776cc parallel-twin engine
• 84.3Hp, 78Nm
• Bi-directional quickshifter
• 855mm seat height
• TFT Dash
• Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS)

Anyone has an idea if the RE version of the Vstorm 800 might follow soon? This could sit below 10L, considering it is 1000 pounds lesser in the UK, and comes with tubeless alloys!

Had been to the Bengaluru unveil of the VStrom 800DE at Aryan Suzuki, Hoodi yesterday. Well organised function (though delayed by an hour, I was there around 1845 and it began around 1915). Our Himalayan guru Shyamg28s better half, Arun aka Bosky from Big Bear Bengaluru and his friend and copodcaster Mahesh was present for the occasion.
The bike looks like the upcoming ADV390, built like a Himalayan (21 inch front) and sounds like an Interceptor 650 due to the parallel twin. Looks great, especially the console and the increased seat height (855 mm)?and weight (232 kg) may be a concern to first time ADV owners. Some pictures of the occasion.

Visited Dream Suzuki, Pune for checking out the bike. I couldn't test ride it as test rides were going to be made available a day later. Would give it a try on another weekend.
Sharing a photo dump of the bike. All 3 colours were available in the showroom, photos are mix of 3 bikes.

Most appealing colour, golden rims although these aren't tubeless


Parallel-twin Engine, needs 3L oil


Split headlight with DRL


TFT console, good change from V-strom 650 XT


Front brake lever is reach adjustable


Front beak shadowed by Indian front number plate requirement


Golden Showa front fork, has serration


Rebound adjustment on fork top


Compression adjustment on fork bottom


Nice colour on exhaust, oil filter behind exhaust pipes, heat shield tape on inside of plastic bash plate


Coolant reservoir, has plastic cover again


2-to-1 exhaust, O2 sensor


Fuel sticker, RON95+. No mention of E20


Nicely shaped tank and seat. 855mm seat height is still manageable


Plastic everywhere, tank grip pads are a must


Side indicators, LED makes it quite sleek


USB charging socket on left side


Chunky front foot-peg, side stand will need base extension


Rear foot-peg, looks like designer took a break and someone slapped a commuter grade foot-peg


Linked rear suspension, reminds of RE Himalayan 411


Remote adjustment knob for rear suspension preload, default is quite soft


DID chain, 525 HV3 would be model name


Tyre pressures, Front tyre is Bias-ply and Rear is Radial, both have tubes


Nissin brakes at Rear, I forgot to click photo of front brakes(twin discs)

The bike looks good on you!

But 95+ RON and no E20 could be a bigger bummer than not having tubeless tyres. Suzuki should clarify asap through an official note.

Oh Suzuki! The front number plate is like a wart on the unique beaky face. Far better integration in the smaller 250
