Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2021

Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2021

The Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE is more than equipped for the big journey: The many features pull together, because everything good about the SE is aimed at comfort and safety. Whether it's the semi-active electronic Skyhook suspension from Showa, the KIBS cornering ABS, the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KMCF), the cornering lights or the easy-to-read TFT colour display, the electronics leave nothing to be desired. Coupled with the comfortable seating position and the high, adjustable windshield, long stages are a pleasure. The engine is certainly not the most powerful, the weight certainly not the lowest, but overall the Versys 1000 SE is an optimal touring motorbike.

Moto Guzzi Stelvio 2024

Moto Guzzi Stelvio 2024

Italian character meets modern touring suitability; the Moto Guzzi Stelvio is a successful blend of traditional Guzzi charm and modern technology. Its superior engine, extensive features and outstanding comfort make it a great companion for relaxed long-distance rides. Although it weighs a fair amount and requires a surcharge for some features, it remains an attractive option for touring riders who prioritise character and style.

Characterful, smooth V2 engine with linear power delivery

Modern electronics including connectivity and LED Cornering lights

Comfortable, long-distance ergonomics, ideal for taller riders

Electronically adjustable windscreen - flexible for different speeds

Great handling despite the higher weight

High weight noticeable in tight hairpins and when manoeuvring

rear brake with long idle travel, particularly noticeable in tight bends

despite all-road ambitions, limited off-road capability due to suspension and ground clearance
