Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2014

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2014

In the large enduro segment, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupies the position of the best value for money, yet you don't have to do without anything - even traction control and ABS come as standard. Excellent brakes, great comfort and a wonderfully powerful V-twin engine are ingredients that should appeal to almost everyone. The fact that it doesn't play in the top league with 100 hp is made up for by the wonderful power delivery, which ensures a relaxed climate on long journeys. Only the wind protection is not optimal with the original windshield; one should invest in the affordable, somewhat larger windshield.

Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré World Crosser 2012

Not a powerhouse, but always confident, always nippy. And also a very harmonious overall package that has no conspicuous negative outliers. Everything works well. And that is very good.

Powerful engine

pleasant, comfortable chassis

off-road resistant

good design.

Unsporting brake system

relatively high weight.
