2024 V Strom 800 First Impressions

[@FrancisFalvella-li7pr]

Cold ride. Glad I live in Florida.

[@itssanktime82]

I ride all pavement on my vstrom 1000 and my dr650. I love being upright and able to ride all day. Ride safe!

[@OldGuyRidin]

@itssanktime82 I made the right choice then right? Ride well, my friend.

[@davidprendergast4068]

Sounds good

[@OldGuyRidin]

@davidprendergast4068 It does, doesn't it?

[@slipngrip]

Wish there was a way to swap out the DE's front brake calipers (2-piston) with the RE's 4P calipers.

[@OldGuyRidin]

@@slipngrip I thought the de had dual rotors and 2 pistons per caliper.

[@slipngrip]

@OldGuyRidin I think that's exactly what I wrote.

[@Rickmac22]

Are you planning to do some off-road riding on the V-Strom?

[@OldGuyRidin]

@@Rickmac22 Not at all. My body's too banged up from a reckless lifestyle when I was younger. This is strictly for the roads.

[@DarkWolf-x1z]

strange choice just for pavement riding, seems more an off road style bike

[@OldGuyRidin]

@DarkWolf-x1z Did you not listen to the video? The ergonomics are better than other bikes. It's the "road edition" made for touring and NOT off-road conditions.

​@@OldGuyRidin you ré right this bike is fantastic......à True blast on the road
