00:00Which one is better, V-Strom 800 or GSX-8S?
00:05It depends. Both have the same heart, but I would never recommend both to the same person without asking a
00:11few questions first.
00:12Both have the same 776cc twin-cylinder engine with liquid cooling, a very advanced engine.
00:20It puts out 84 horsepower, while in the 8s, it's 83. Both also share the same technology.
00:26Technology, bi-directional quickshifter, traction control, riding modes, electronic throttle, ABS, and a TFT display.
00:35The difference lies in the purpose of each one.
00:37The 8s is a naked bike, compact, lower, lighter than the V-Strom, with 17-inch wheels and handling more
00:44focus on agility and sportiness.
00:45It's the kind of bike that makes a lot of sense for those who like city riding, highways, curves, and
00:51want to feel the bike responding quickly.
00:53On the other hand, the V-Strom is a more robust motorcycle.
00:56Here, you have a more upright riding position and a bike that's more geared towards those looking for comfort and
01:01also long trips.
01:03Since it has a 20-liter tank, a 19-inch front wheel, and the possibility for you to carry a
01:08lot of luggage and, of course, ride with a passenger.
01:11For those who like to travel, spend hours on the bike, carry luggage, and still have the freedom to tackle
01:16dirt roads and potholes, it starts to make more sense.
01:19So, even though they share the same mechanical platform, technology, and engine, the riding experience is different.
01:25And I would sum it up like this.
01:27Do you want a light, compact, fun bike with a sporty edge?
01:30GSX-8S.
01:31You want comfort, range, and the ability to carry luggage and a passenger.
01:36V-Strom 800.
01:38Now, I want to know, if I give you both keys, which one would you choose?
01:42Write it down below.
01:43So, let's go.
