Certification documents can provide valuable insights into future motorcycle models. An executive order issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to Suzuki Motor Corporation sheds light on four bikes planned for the 2024 model year.

The documents focus on the 776cc parallel twin engine that Suzuki introduced in the GSX-8S and V-Strom 800DE models for the 2023 model year. The CARB document lists four separate machines that will use this engine and are approved for sale in California, meaning they will likely be sold throughout the US.

The four machines mentioned in the document are the V-Strom 800DE Adventure, V-Strom 800DE, V-Strom 800, and GSX-8S.

The Adventure variant of the V-Strom 800DE comes with added features such as quick-release black anodized aluminum panniers, a skid plate, and an accessory bar.

While Suzuki has not officially announced a more street-oriented version of the V-Strom 800, the listing in the CARB document suggests that it may be in the works.

Speculations include the possibility of alloy wheels instead of spokes and a 19-inch front wheel. However, no official information about the V-Strom 800 has been released as of August 9, 2023.

Pricing for the 2023 V-Strom 800DE starts at $11,349, while the 2023 V-Strom 800DE Adventure starts at $12,999. The pricing for the 2024 V-Strom 800 has yet to be announced.
