Episode 6 of the Suzuki V-Strom 800RE long-termer. Mossy brings us up to date on his long-termer and future bike plans.
Some of the new RE’s modifications are immediately evident and preferred. The 30mm lower seat makes it much easier to get on the bike; with the appreciably taller and broader screen, it will obviously offer more protection than the DE’s much smaller version. The altered riding position created by the narrower bars, sited slightly lower and further forward, and alloy footrests attached slightly higher and further back, is less noticeable. But get underway, and what is immediately apparent is the change in steering characteristics effected by the smaller front wheel. Even before we got to the mountain roads, the quicker and lighter way the Suzuki turned into corners was a clear and welcome feature. There’s a more positive and direct feel through the bars, which inspires more confidence and allows for more spirited and secure riding. Also very noticeable is the extra power of the new four-piston radial callipers, which provide sharper, stronger braking. Though ultimately not as versatile as the DE’s, Suspension action remains well-controlled, offering good support and compliance. Overall, the new RE feels more at home on the road, and the superb day’s riding felt so rewarding I would have loved to have continued back to the UK.https://bikerheadz.co.uk/category/rukka-clothinghttps://bikerheadz.co.uk/category/bering-clothingAnother video brought to you by Bikerheadz (Fuelled by TranAm Ltd).To find your UK or Ireland stockist of the product shown please visit: https://bikerheadz.co.uk/dealer-locator To see all the latest products from Bikerheadz visit https://bikerheadz.co.uk/To connect with us on social media..TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@bikerheadzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bikerheadzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bikerheadz/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bikerheadzTo talk about all things two-wheeled (with an engine) join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikerheadzMake sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel by hitting the red button above!#Suzukivstrom800re #vstrom800re #bikerheadz #review
