2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE for Sale

Body and Styling Features

• Retaining the prominent “beak” that was pioneered on Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z Dakar racer and the large DualSport DR-Big, the lines of the Champion Yellow No. 2 or Glass Sparkle Black body work are sharper with flatter surfaces to create a tough yet sophisticated look. Different colored panels feature angular lines that further amplify the V-STROM 800DE’s modern, aggressive look.
• The V-STROM 800DE uses a three-piece front fender assembly that combines the effectiveness of a conventional V-STROM fender with the protection of fork guards like those used on an MX bike.
• The V-STROM 800DE has a wide tapered handlebar cast in strong yet flexible aluminum that allows it to flex and absorb shock when riding on unpaved surfaces. In addition, the wider grip position helps provide comfort particularly when standing on the foot pegs to negotiate rough terrain.
• The fuel tank has a generous 5.3-gallon (20L) capacity but is shaped to be thin at the rear to flow into the slim seat, which aids the rider in touching the ground at stops.
• Attention to detail extends to the engine as the clutch cover and magneto cover have a bronze-like finish that complements the V-STROM 800DE’s body color, while the SUZUKI name on the cover is in a contrasting color to bring attention to the modern engine.
• Wide, steel footrests help the rider comfortably maneuver the V-STROM 800DE on diverse types of roads. Rubber inserts damp vibration but can be removed so the rider’s boots can have even more grip of the pegs. With the mirrors feature a design that complements the V-STROM 800DE’s styling while proving an excellent view of objects behind the rider.

Chassis Features

• Designed around the compact parallel twin engine and constructed with rugged steel pipe, the V-STROM 800DE’s backbone style frame was engineered to help provide the foundational strength required for excellent straight-line performance and nimble handling when negotiating rugged trails or touring at highway speeds.
• Developed exclusively for the V-STROM 800DE, the SHOWA supplied front fork and single-shock, with rear suspensions’ spring rate and damping force settings were tuned to maximize performance and comfort when riding on all surfaces, on- or off-road. Both front and rear suspension provide a long 8.7-inch (220mm) of travel.
• The V-STROM 800DE rides on sturdy spoke-style wheels and is equipped with a 21-inch front wheel for greater stability and better control off pavement. The rear 17-inch wheel has a 150mm wide tire for better grip and ride compliance. The 90/90-21 front and 150/70R17 rear Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tires feature a semi-block tread pattern with long, straight diagonal grooves to provide traction off-road.
• The front lightweight dual-piston NISSIN-supplied front brake calipers are axial mounted to provide ample clearance to the front wheel’s spokes while allowing for strong and light axle holders at the bottom of each fork leg. The rear brake combines a single-piston, slide-pin style NISSIN caliper with a 260mm disc, providing the rider the braking feel that aids low speed maneuvering.
• The modest windscreen is designed to maximize the rider’s visibility when riding on roads or trails. Developed through wind tunnel testing, the windscreen deflects wind blast and sounds away from the rider.
• The lightweight resin luggage rack incorporates easy-to-grasp grab bars. Contributing to the DE's rugged identity, a mesh guard that protects the radiator from flying stones and other debris when riding on the trail and a 4mm (0.15 in.) thick plastic undercover provides engine and exhaust protection.

Electrical Features

• The advanced electronic systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) helps V-STROM 800DE riders optimize performance characteristics to best suit their riding style, level of experience, and the riding conditions. This makes the V-STROM 800DE more predictable and more enjoyable out on the trail, on a twisty road, or touring down the highway, and it adds up to a more exciting, confident, and fun riding experience.
• The S.I.R.S. suite includes the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), the Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) and the Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS) that supports the rider in a variety of conditions. Also included is the Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System, the Suzuki Easy Start, and Low RPM Assist systems for accurate and convenient motorcycle operation.
• The V-STROM 800DE’s instrument panel uses a full-color, 5-inch, TFT screen.
• Available only on the V-STROM DE models, the rider can switch off rear ABS for riding on gravel and other unpaved surfaces.
• The Traction Control System* allows the rider the option to select one of five modes (1, 2, 3, Gravel, and OFF). The four active modes differ in terms of rear wheel spin sensitivity. (*Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (also referred to as “MSRP”, “Base MSRP” or the “Starting At” price), excludes taxes, title, license and registration fees, destination freight and delivery charges, dealer fees, and optional equipment.)

Engine Features

• The 776cc parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a superb balance of smooth controllable torque-rich power from low RPM and freely revs up to its peak power output. The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides similar power delivery characteristics as the 90-degree V-twins used in other V-STROM models, while producing a unique and exciting exhaust note.
• The spaced nature of the engine’s power pulses enhances traction and contributes to strong power output at extremely low speeds, making the V-STROM 800DE easier to ride on forest roads and trails.
• Suzuki Cross Balancer technology, patented by Suzuki and was used for the first time on a production motorcycle in the V-STROM 800DE, helps create a compact, lightweight design that delivers smooth operation.
• Dual, linked 42mm electronic throttle bodies provide an authentic response and feel to the rider’s throttle operation. With two 10-hole, long-nose, 49 PSI (343kpa) high-pressure-feed fuel injectors that maximize fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency and helps reduce fuel consumption.
• The stainless-steel 2-into-1 exhaust system uses a high flow, dual-stage catalytic converter inside the mid-pipe that helps satisfy worldwide emissions standards as a long, upswept muffler is attractive and well positioned for future accessory mounting.
• Use of long-reach iridium spark plugs helps cool the cylinder head and deliver a strong spark that helps combustion efficiency which can improve fuel economy.

Features

• PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE - SMOOTH OPERATION: All-new compact 776cc parallel-twin engine uses a 270-degree firing order for strong torque production and is equipped with Suzuki’s exclusive Cross Balancer system for smooth operation.

Other Features

• Suzuki 12-month limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).

Transmission Features

• The six-speed transmission features gear ratios that deliver exciting acceleration, whether shifting normally or when using the standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift system to shift without clutch operation.
• The V-STROM 800DE’s precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the ideal gear for the riding conditions.
• The transmission’s output is managed by the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS). This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip to enable smooth downshifts. It also works as an assist clutch, increasing plate pressure under acceleration, but always keeps the clutch lever pull light and precise.
• Riding on durable steel sprockets, a strong O-ring style drive chain contains lubrication pre-packed between the pins and rollers for quiet, reliable operation.
