Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 650 2017
The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.
Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016
The Thruxton is far behind the Öhlins and Showa-equipped "R" in terms of sporty performance. This becomes particularly clear on the Alpine passes, where a good chassis, strong brakes and light handling are crucial. In return, it rewards the eye of the aesthete with an even more authentic, because more classic, exterior. Laymen can hardly distinguish a new Thruxton from a vintage or youngtimer. Like the Street Twin, it has a sympathetic effect on passers-by and should be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.
