V-Strom Sums…

Slotting into the increasingly crowded middleweight adventure bike market, Suzuki’s V-Strom 800DE looks to be a winner with its 776cc parallel twin, 84hp motor, fully adjustable Showa suspension and off-road riding mode. But up until now, we didn’t know how much we’d have to splash out to get our hands on one.

Thankfully, the factory’s just announced that it’ll come in at a respectable £10,499. That means that the new Suzuki is cheaper than KTM’s 890 Adventure, Ducati’s DesertX and Aprilia’s Tuareg – although it’s not as cheap as the £10,100 Yamaha Ténéré 700. The only question that remains is how much Honda’s asking for its newly-released Transalp?
