I wonder if they're right - "looks fantastic in the metal".
Looks plug ugly in the photos...

Same platform as the new Vstrom 800
Shouldn’t that be parallelstrom

Just had a look at the specs....230KG Fuck me, that cannot be right. WTF is going on? My DR800 is way lighter!
There is a you tube video of it and the new v strom at eicma and it actually looks quite nice

Indeed, there is a killer of a bike to be made, but none of them seem to be tapping into it!

I'm seeing 202 kg with fuel, on several sites.
Could be...I hope it is, but surely it should be lighter than the bike was 30 years ago!
I think it’s to do with catering for the correct number plate as per legislation.
Some people will improve the looks with a “tail tidy” accessory.
Loved it

Looks pretty good and might be a better option for anybody over 5’8" who finds the Hornet too small, as the Suzuki seat height is 15 mm higher and the bike is 40 mm longer.

Think he might have a point .
The Hornet is far too small for me but sounds like the Suzuki is built for non dwarves.
My390 has that tail light rear no plate arrangement. Its awful for spray which fires off the rear wheel coats my back / helmet / rear seat in road grime.

202kg for the GSX-8S and 230kg for the Adventure-styled 800DE.
