Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda X-ADV 2019

Honda has done it again. The new X-ADV continues to present itself as a versatile work tool that attracts a lot of attention. Improvements have been made in the right places to make it more accessible, more practical, but also more refined. While its extravagant concept will always attract sceptics, proud owners swear by it and can enjoy thousands of kilometres in the saddle.

Real all-rounder

Improved drivetrain

More powerful sound

More accessible than predecessor

High level of comfort

Sublime feeling in the saddle

Running boards a little too narrow

chain drive for scooter/adventure operation requires high maintenance

extroverted appearance not for everyone

Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT 2021

The V-Strom 650 XT may be getting on a bit, but it's still a good bike. Especially if you don't need a colour display and don't intend to leave the paved road. The 650 is an easy motorbike to ride and is hardly ever out of its depth. What's more, this model has already proven itself a zillion times over, which underlines its durability and longevity.

Simple, uncomplicated bike

proven technology

good price/performance ratio

Design and equipment are a bit outdated

very limited off-road capability
