Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023

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.

Benelli 502 C 2020

Benelli 502 C 2020

The Benelli 502 C is definitely an exciting phenomenon in the A2 cruiser class. With a very familiar look and a pleasant two-cylinder, it is an exciting alternative to the top dogs in this class. Thanks to the large fuel tank, it could actually be a good long-distance motorbike if the suspension set-up were not chosen too harshly. Moreover, it is impossible to take a passenger with a clear conscience, as he or she will be clinging for dear life to the small seat for the entire ride. However, if you only plan rides alone and want to be as conspicuous as possible, the Benelli 502 C is perfect. Plenty of motorbike for A2 riders!
