Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW G 310 GS 2018

BMW G 310 GS 2018

The BMW is a great, simple and very comfortable entry-level motorbike for adventurous everyday riders. Both commuting and day trips work very well with it. But the power is already quite low. With 34 hp, it is very beginner-friendly, but you very quickly wish for more punch and power. Especially at a price of about 6000 €, it is questionable whether one can financially cope with such a quick change of motorbikes, or not go straight for a more powerful bike in the A2 class.

Comfortable seating position

low weight

high-quality workmanship

beginner-friendly throttle response

also possible to ride through light terrain.

little power, especially at higher speeds

high price

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018

What the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 was already very good at before, the new V-Strom 1000 is also very good at: a well-balanced motorbike that does not shy away from a sporty riding style with good long-distance capability. Added to this are modern features such as ABS and Combined Brake System, which make riding even safer and faster. Suzuki takes criticism seriously, the windshield has been enlarged and, in line with the trend, the V-Strom 1000 is now also available in a slightly more off-road XT version with wire-spoke wheels, which not only increase stability but also the cool look - especially with the yellow paint. Besides all these advantages, the low price remains the absolute killer argument for the Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
