Suzuki invited me out to Greece for the launch of their new Vstrom 1050 and 1050DE models. I spent the morning on the 1050 for the road ride, and then the afternoon on the DE model in the mountains.
I had a lot of fun testing these new bikes, although, I did NOT expect to be riding in near freezing temps with MORE snow - IN GREECE!

Great review Richie, thanks, cannot wait to see some of the videos with the long termer, if they are as positive as this one then I think you'll have helped me make my mind up for an adventure bike. This video is the only one I seen so far that properly gets the sound of the engine note for the VStrom ( I may be doing Lamb Chops a dis service there) and it sounds great. Keep up the great work.

Good video Rich, looks like a hoot out there and I'm looking forward to seeing more when you get your long-termer. I used to own a Vstrom myself, 2010 650 GT, K9 with the big cat eyes, and it was a brilliant bike. Reliable, economical*, practical, and it remains the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. However, with Suzuki removing the V from the V-Stroms and moving now to a parallel twin, I'm very concerned that the Strom will lose its heart and character. * Economy wise, I had a camping trip with a mate in Wales. I filled the tank in the Brecon Beacons, fully laden with panniers, topbox and tent on the seat, and then rode all the way back to Lincoln, where I had the misfortune of living at the time, and then rode to work the next morning, and then finally filled up again on the way home. I averaged across that, even with the commute, about 66mpg. Cannot go wrong, really can't.

I like to ride from mid February to mid December, as long as there is no snow. If you're scared of ice, i recommend you not riding below 3°C. Of course ice freezes at 0° but the thing i want to share is, the road is usually 3° colder than the air in winter. Or if youre riding to work, watch temp at night! Just a piece of info for people who also try to ride all year long.

Hi Richy, This video with all the nice new VStroms makes my VStrom 1000 from 2018 feel very old now, but it is still a very practical bike. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts in the future after you've spent some time with the long term bike and to see how it measures up to the Big Lad:) I've got proper clocks and an LCD screen on my Strom and gurt great mirrors too:)

Damn, Suzuki, you've outdone yourself! Content to stay with tried and true but stone age tech for the longest time, they've finally untracked themselves. This is the only true V-strom anymore; not some imposter parallel twin that somehow rates a "V" in the name. Call the 800 just a Strom, or I'll never touch it 🙂 Scratch that, I just can't go with a parallel Strom.

Hi Richy enjoyed the review you snow magnet you. Must say in todays inflated bike prices I suppose the new V-Strom is the Dacia of the bike world, I think their has always been a snobbishness towards the 650 and the 1050, but it's always been a bloody good bike, and with a bit more tech it's spot on, I do hope it's a success, just sad the 650 has been retired in the UK. Looking forward to it being a long term loan bike of yours. Thank you.

Something that everyone wants to know but Ive yet to see a reviewer of these two bikes mention is the difference in handling characteristics between the 19" and 21" on the road..as the VSTROM with 19" is such a sweet handling bike on the road..Would upgrading to the DE with 21" compromise the road character and to what degree ??..Also with the longer travel suspension ? and how that performs on and off road.
@RichyVida

Great question, Dr. Sous. Genuinely, I couldn’t feel any difference to road handling on the DE. Not sure if that’s because I’m used to a 21” on my AT or not. Certainly didn’t feel any less confident or connected with the bike on road. 👍

Given the expense of hosting these press launches, it would seem to be cost effective to put better off-road tires on the test bikes, something like TKC 80s. I wonder why they don’t?

The bikes have to have the recommended tyres as per manufacturer but yes, I agree. 👍

To me riding in the snow is just out of the question, not even worth questioning. You are much older than me, you seem to be long into motorcycle, so you must know the definite probability of slipping away so why do you ride in snow? Or i should ask, how and why do you ride so surely in the snow, almost any other rider would rather walk to poland than ride to work in winter. This is a genuine question, i am not mocking you for riding in snow i find it great to see people in the community take a challenge and enjoy riding.

Great review. I'd love if Suzuki brought out an Orange/ White colour scheme like the old XT.

It's $20K in Canada !!!! That is way too close to other premium brands for it to be a success !!!! The 800 DE is going to sell well but this model will struggle at those prices. You can buy a Tiger 900 GT Pro for the same money!!!!
