FYI, the west coast is more than California. Come up to the PNW and ride the wet, root, tight mountain single track this bike was made for
Fair point!
It's a shame that this bike is really a 450. A real 500cc would have been nice.
Did they happen to talk about the 500 dual sport that was supposed to be out by now?
They had the SEF 500, is that the one you're talking about?
@@cyclenews No, about 10 months ago Dirt Bike mag did a couple videos about Sherco making a 500 dual sport, was supposed to be released in May I think. I havent heard anything since then. Just thought since you were in recent contact you might have heard some thing.
Watching SuperHard vids makes me wanna get out there and “Suffer Together” with all the other rad people that sign up for these races
Sherco, new in the Enduro scene since 2003.
You got it! Definitely making more of a push in the US lately with big signs like Cody Webb, Josh Strang, etc.
Love how intensely Max was starring at Deegan in one of the first clips on the line. I’m assuming that was qualifying. Deegan is an animal bro. So much fun to watch. His performances have single handedly made this season exciting so far.
The new kid vs the veteran
News? WTF, where is the news???
Hi Shawn thanks for the comment! Check the video description to see a full breakdown of the day's news and results.
Is there a Japanese rider named Yokozawa Takumu who is entered in the 450cc class?
Yes he entered but did not qualify into the motos.
@@cyclenews Thank you for the information! It seems that he will be entering Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington. I hope he makes it to the finals and I'd like to see him do well and run.
Displacement is king. 250 class 300 and so on. Ain’t no way they should have ever allowed 450F’s to compete against the 250t
Can't say we disagree. Seems like the 300 two stroke would be a more fair matchup against the almighty 450.
Wow, where did you find that superb ugly bash plate for the Transalp? 🤢
Honda factory accessory, you don't like?
Could barely get a leg over the Tenere, but can almost flat foot the TA. Huge difference. Without even riding either, one I would own and one I would not.
Yes they both have different seat heights, 33.7 in for the TA and 34.4 in for the Tenere.
The slow motion really gives a prospective of how scary this track is. Great footage!!!
Thank you! These guys are the real deal.
GREAT footage! The main NBC podcast needs to learn from you and use slow mo to breakdown rider style and line choice. Your videography is great
Awesome thank you for the kind words!
Cycle news.. Corona Raceway Friday nights
You remember!
138 hp weak af. Especially 40k
I sat on the 800 standard. Im about 6'1-6'2 and 200lbs. I never felt such an uncomfortable adv bike stock. It is made as a very budget adv for new riders. I have almost 120k miles on my 02 vstrom 1k.
What did you not like about it?
@@cyclenews suspension was too soft in the front and rear (adj preload also) egros has me more than cramped, bike would need risers/maybe even rearsets speaking for my personal comfort. The de in comparison feels solid in every fault that I mentioned.
Haiden is just wired different
What a statement ride Deegan is a force to be reckoned with best style of riding i see loved his scrub passing kitchin in moto 2
10k km and cams on mine about to go. Oil, radiator leaks, my 890 is a phenomenally untrustworthy piece of crap. My previous 1090r was solid, but the 890 ain’t
Sorry to hear that!
Does anyone know which direction I need to adjust the rebound screw to increase rebound? My xact aer forks don't show a +/- per direction
The non-DE's geometry looks wrong, this bike needs 21 inch wheels.
If my 2024 KTM 350 does not have the power map selector, which map does it come with, 1 or 2?
More than likely it will be in map one.

Thank you for the tip!
What the hell you talking about the de is no fun on the road???
I believe what he said was that the DE is not -as- fun as the standard version on the road. Huge difference.
When comparing the two bikes the standard model is more geared for road riding, making it more fun to ride strictly on the road. The DE model is still a good time on the pavement, but it is obviously more off-road oriented.
@@cyclenews I have the de and it's a blast on the road. Also have the standard windscreen on my de and it makes a world of difference. Haven't taken of pavement much do to the stupid tire choice suzuki put on the de I do have 50/50 tire ready to go once the stockers are worn out
While we didn’t suffer together while on the trail I was out there with you guys just far far behind😂
I looked at the SE (RE in the UK), and bought the DE a week ago, and I love it, even though my off-road riding will be limited. The slightly larger height fitted me very well, and no cruise, minor vibes small screen and some heat makes zero difference to my riding needs - it’s just a fantastic bike. It’s no noticeably heavier than my old L4 650 Vstrom, it more power, more comfortable, and the QS is fun! Regarding the Vstrom/Pstrom concerns, c’mon, get over this, it makes no difference! Try it, I. Sure you’ll enjoy the ride! 😀🙏
Awesome! Enjoy the new ride.
Olddated video : the Multistrada V4 RS elected best bike of year 2024 <for being both a missile on track and a great tourer>. I dont think that concurrence no matter the brand is gonna beat Ducati for at least a couple of yrs more.
We need Super Sport with that engine not that ugly fat bird looking thing.
Cool and interesting review, thanks a lot. Did you do the IOM TT this year and, if so, how did you get on? Well I hope 👍👍
Thanks Greg. Unfortunately, no IOM for me this year. Hopefully again next year, but we'll see. It was mega hard watching it all unfold and not being there!
@@renniescaysbrook2904 oh that’s a shame and I bet! Fingers crossed you make it next year and, if you do, my son and I will be watching! He races 600’s at club level and would love to try the Manx. I’m more nervous about him doing it for obvious reasons but I absolutely love the event. Cheers for replying!!
"No wife, no kids, no child support " Smart man
👍👍🏁
It is no longer a V twin, its a Parallel Twin. Should it not be a PT Strom?
Haha, that's good, Just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Great video, thanks for showing the comparison.
No problem, thanks for the support! 👍
Just an FYI. There is a cruse control available. I put one on my KTM390ADV. A company that is putting out a quality kit. I would post the name but I am not trying to market stuff for them. Just help others. The name starts with the letter "V" It's up to you. I am thinking hard about the strom 800.. Good vid.
Name also rhymes with “Veridian Cruise”.
Suzuki hit a home run with the 800. Sadly people are led to believe the TAlp is better.
That will make another great head-to-head test.
I test rode both and thought I would love the V-Strom 800 more - I nearly bought one without a test ride before. But honestly..I liked the Transalp way more. The motor of the TAlp sounds great with the stock exhaust - you can barely hear the Strom's Motor. The Strom has slightly more torque in low and mid range..but if you rev the Honda a bit, it works astonishing great. The TAlp feels better in the Twisties - just a bit nimbler. What I also liked more on my TA testride is the seating position. Both bikes are comfortable but on the TA you're sitting "in" the bike and not "on" the bike what I personally prefer. I don't really like the look of both bikes. The Strom is a bit ugly (that big exhaust does not make it better) and the TA looks boring with that CB500X headlight. The gear changes / transmission on the Honda worked a bit better for me than on the Strom. What also was a bit annoying on the Strom was the engine heat on the right leg. So..on paper (beside the weight), the Strom is the better bike for me. But after a testride, I would prefer the TA. I guess everyone is different - that's why testrides are so important.
No cruise control, no dice! Sorry, Suzuki!
Time to strengthen up that limp wrist 😂
I disagree.... pick different roads if your using/wanting cruise contoll with this bike... or a different bike cause your riding roads dominated by cruiser/gold wing crowd. I own a 2024 800de unit and it's mint!
Veridian Cruise makes an aftermarket cruise control for the V-strom. Ordered mine and the company is making great install videos too.
Great video. It’s fantastic when motorcycle manufacturers offer road and off-road models of their bikes. Ironically the road versions see little press but they’re the ones most people need. Thanks for showing some love to the street 800.
Absolutely! It's important to show off different models because everyone has different tastes and styles.
How many km did it have when you reviewed it? I have an XSR 900 and the quick shifter gets smoother after 600km or so…it’s night and day. The suspension as well..gets better with a few km on it.
Looks like the tallest bike on the planet 🙂Hard to buy into "stiffer to make it softer" idea. Especially given you're testing it on a groomed track. Time will tell.
"Drag setups"... lmao noob. Where do they find these dorks?
Thx for video!!! I am an old dude at 57 coming from Suzuki GS1100E models
Happy to help!
Wasn't the crank changed, too? What about the internals of the forks? What about headshake? Thanks for the video.
Yes the crank is a bit lighter than the previous gen. For settings are updated to match the new frame as well.
Good review, nice bike. I like the better screen, the red color and the 12v outlet of the SE
Needs extra 40 bhp to be called r7 Long as you can carve some lines
*We all still waiting for a KTM RC690 to take on the likes of RS660 - R7 - CBR650R - Daytona660* & maybe a RC690R to compete with R6 - CBR600RR & ZX-6R since that category is making a strong comeback.
I agree that KTM needs a RC690. They could probably use a sleeved-down version the 790cc motor from the adventure bike to make it work. The RCR 990 will be the supersport bike to race against the R6/ZX-6R/CBR600RR/Panigale V2/MV Agusta F3 800 and Triumph Street Triple 765 RS.
What you’re getting is ripped off 😂
Depends. Yes, it's expensive, but it's got the best possible components, it's exclusive AF and I'd wager 98 percent of the world's riders would go faster on this than they would on a superbike.
@@cyclenews I think 98% of the worlds riders would do just as well on a Panigale V2 or even a GSX-R 750 for a small fraction of the price. A bike like this defines the law of diminishing returns.
How is that, exactly?
Broke dude talk
@@ehiggins7476 Hardly troll 🤡
The dry clutch adds nothing I need besides considerable expense and nuisance. I had my dry clutch moment with my first Monster 916. Delete and give us the savings. The optional heated seat fixes the hard seat. But my Pikes Peak, de-restricted by aftermarket, is the ticket for actual pillion touring.
Just bought a 2023. I like it. Helps me keep my license 😂
Loving that two stroke smell your video exudes! You can't beat a two smoker!
I'm wondering when someone is going to do another comparison of the lastest crop of "retro" sub liter bikes. I've been eyeing the XSR900. I had a 2018 Z900RS, it was comfortable but just didn't do it when trying to hustle through turns and the wind blast was really strong above about 75-80. The 14 Superduke 1290R I had did not have that kind of windblast for some reason.
