Pros

Cons
- Heavy curb weight (~230 kg / 507 lb) — parking and U-turns need more care
- Tall seat (~855 mm / 33.7 in) — shorter riders should test fit
Who is it for?
Best suited for adventure and dual-purpose riders.
Who is it not for?
Less ideal for very short riders who need both feet flat at stops, brand-new riders looking for a first motorcycle.
Commuting / city use
As an adventure motorcycle, expect a mix of road touring ability and light off-road capability.
Highway / longer rides
Range and rider comfort usually matter more here than pure track pace.
Good for beginners?
Power and/or sport focus make the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE a demanding first motorcycle. Newer riders should usually step up gradually.
Seat height & rider fit
Seat height is about 855 mm (33.7 in). Shorter riders should sit on the bike before deciding.
Fuel economy & range
Listed fuel use is about 5 L/100 km (~47 mpg US). With a ~20 L tank, theoretical range is around 400 km (real-world range varies).
Two-up riding
Two-up comfort depends on seat length, passenger pegs, and load capacity — check fit with a passenger before long trips.
