Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can drive into your heart. Probably it is precisely because of this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally adjusted to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent ride-by-wire system, the engine seems more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, the chassis is really well tuned for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good, but tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat because of the somewhat acute knee angle.

The Triumph Tiger Explorer XC is a stately motorbike that already signals when stationary that it does not necessarily want to be abused as an entry-level machine. The bulky fairing therefore fits very well with the overall character of the British men's motorbike.

Light handling

fun to ride

direction changes made easy

flawless functioning of the brakes

upright seating position.

The big Tiger cannot rely on a particularly low centre of gravity,
