Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2019

Even though Suzuki may not have put as much work into the development of the V-Strom as its competitors in touring enduros, the Suzuki can use this circumstance to its advantage. In a world with extensive electronics packages, it still looks very purist in the 2019 model year, with only the cornering ABS hinting at innovation. Many customers want a simple motorbike, and the V-Strom 1000 appeals to precisely this target group. Its lusty V2 exudes endless character and, thanks to years of testing, is a bulletproof companion. Combined with the potent chassis and relaxed seating position, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 gives you a sporty touring enduro that stands up to the digitalisation of motorbikes in today's world.

Good things take time, they say. Triumph has kept to this and with the Tiger 900 GT Pro has put a motorbike on the cast rims that continues the long, successful path of the 800 with many detail improvements and is just as much a practical everyday motorbike as it is for extended tours and trips. The Triple has become sharper and yet is still a harmonious unit with which even beginners can do no wrong without boring the experienced motorcyclist. And that's thanks to sufficient suspension travel on roads of the most varied qualities as well as quite moderate off-road passages. There was little to complain about in our first impression, but we will certainly take a closer look at the Tiger.
