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.

It is impressive how well the bike manages the balancing act between on-road and off-road, doing exactly what an adventure bike should be able to do or what you want to do with an adventure bike. And this with a level of maturity that is downright astonishing for a new model and shows that Triumph has done its homework and has further developed the already underestimated Tiger 800 in a sensible way. Even if some die-hard Tiger fans may miss the now less pronounced, typical whistling of the three-cylinder engine. I can only answer the question of whether the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is ready for the journey with a "when are we going to start again?"!
