Suzuki V-strom 800 on the D4 - Vallee Herault

Fantastic bit of road in the south of France between Causse-de-la-Selle and St. Guilhem-le-Désert

Tu penses qu'elle peut être roulée comme ça longtemps ou c'est vraiment pas son terrain de jeu ? J'ai un roadster, je me tâte à l'acheter pour la position plus tranquille, mais j'aime bien m'amuser encore sur les routes et pas juste faire du tourisme. Frotter les calepieds quoi et bousiller la bande de peur..

I enjoyed the bike, riding it this way does not upset brakes or suspension. Ground clearance is a little limited, but suspension is very well capable of handling this kind of riding and gives a lot of confidence.

@@Pogost1ck thank you. I've taked my time to read your comments. Just the windshield can be a problem on highway.

[@0009tatan]

Guau!!! Que maravilla se siente esa Suzuki!!! La quiero!!!!!

[@garyt3474]

how is the wind protection ? i rode a 800de and it was so bad i dint want to ride on highway

[@Pogost1ck]

Not much different from the DE then. I didn't like the wind protection and a different screen would be on my list if I would buy one.

[@Italianborn]

You know puig sells all kinds of different windscreen right ?

[@Nico-vs2re]

Bonjour que penses tu de la protection au niveau bruit et turbulence? merci

[@Pogost1ck]

Pas de turbulence mais trop de bruit >100kmh. Je conseillerais une pare brise plus haut pour l'autoroute.

[@eusergiu9975]

Super. I'm thinking what would be better 1050 or 800?

[@Pogost1ck]

Depends but the 800 is very capable!

[@ProphetAndLoss]

Windyboi!

[@konradmaximus954]

What fuel consumption per 100km ?

[@Pogost1ck]

Not sure, this wasn't a very representative ride.

[@minas4everyo]

where you buy the sticker on your fuel tank?

[@Pogost1ck]

Suzuki press bike.

[@soyay3517]

Is it responsive like naked bike? Video show u really wack it hard! Lol

[@Pogost1ck]

Longer suspension travel and softer than most naked bikes, however capable bike also when it comes to faster riding like we did here!
