Suzuki V-Strom 800DE weight overview
This is firmly on the heavier side. The real penalty is not necessarily normal riding; it is low-speed work, awkward parking and moving the bike around manually. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE weight FAQ
How heavy is the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE?
Listed dry weight is 507.1 lb (230 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Does the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE weight change by model year?
There is not enough comparable model-year weight data to determine a year-to-year change. A usable weight figure is available for 2023. No usable dry/wet figure was supplied for 2024, 2025.
How much does the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 5.3 US gal (20.06 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 32.9 lb (14.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Suzuki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 687.1 lb (311.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE dry weight as curb weight?
No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 540 lb (244.9 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
What is the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE full-tank weight estimate?
The page calculates about 540 lb (244.9 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Suzuki curb-weight number.
How large is the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE engine for its weight?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.53 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Will the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE feel heavy at low speed?
It is heavy enough that smart parking matters. Avoid situations where you have to paddle it backward uphill or catch it after it leans too far.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
