The big question after last fall’s reveal of the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE and GSX-8S was: How much will they cost? Now we know, at least for US customers.
Suzuki’s just sent out an email listing a $8,849 MSRP for the GSX-8S in 2023, and a $11,349 MSRP for the V-Strom 800DE. The V-Strom 800DE Adventure, which comes with travel-friendly upgrades, will cost $12,999. The new Stroms will arrive in the US market in May, and the GSX-8S will arrive in June.
For the sake of comparison, Suzuki’s existing V-Strom 1050 sells at $15,199 in the US, and the V-Strom 650 is $9,104. The new 800 splits the difference neatly down the middle.
