Suzuki has officially revealed its street-biased V-Strom 800, with the new adventure tourer carrying a price tag of $17,490

Just days after we broke the news of Suzuki’s new V-Strom 800, Suzuki Australia has officially announced the introduction of the MY24 V-Strom 800, which will join the brands V-Strom 800DE adventure machine.

While the V-Strom 800DE (Dual Explorer) is aimed more toward off-road performance, according to Suzuki, the V-Strom 800 evolves the chassis in the direction of providing maximum comfort and performance for long-distance touring and high-speed riding.

Beneath its blue exterior, the V-STROM 800 runs the same 776cc parallel twin engine that’s found in the 800DE, punching out the same 82kW of power at 8500rpm and 78Nm of torque at 6800rpm.
