The product concept of “Adventure is its Purpose” intends to convey a sense that the V-STROM  800DE will make every outing feel like an interesting adventure that riders will find inspiring and fun,   whether that ride is a simple commute to work or school, a shopping trip, or an exciting day out to   enjoy touring. It also suggests how the characteristics of the new parallel twin engine and chassis   layout deliver power, nimble handling and comfort that faithfully follow the will of the rider, offering a   quirk-free riding experience for a new era for the V-STROM series that makes the rider the star. 

​

The V-STROM 800DE builds on the solid reputation earned by other models in the V-STROM family, yet   offers something different for riders seeking more power and advanced features than on the VSTROM 650.
