The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE adventure bike is bloody hard not to like - and it’s not like I haven’t tried. As a fan of V-twins – and particularly Suzuki’s 650 – I was ready to be up in arms that yet another model was bowing to economic pressure and drinking the parallel-twin Kool-Aid. But far from being an exercise in frugality over substance, the new V-Strom is fun, solid, easy to ride, well-suspended and nicely finished, too. It’s also very, very comfortable, thanks to a combination of well-thought-out ergonomics, a seat you can sit in all day for days at a time – supposedly tested by its designer at his office desk – and a silky-smooth engineAdd to that a sublime quickshifter, thoroughly capable suspension and a 20-litre fuel tank and you’ve got a finished bike that could set off around the world at a moment’s notice… as long as you did it mostly by road or dry gravel. Adventure bikes are, by their very nature, a compromise and they always will be. So what Suzuki have achieved with the V-Strom 800 DE very impressive indeed. It’s both more capable off road than the 650 that went before it - but if anything it’s also a better road bike.
