Honda NX500 2024

Honda NX500 2024

The Honda NX500 is a versatile A2 adventure bike that is particularly at home on tarmac and can offer a lot from everyday riding to relaxed touring. It has no major shortcomings, while at the same time offering many strengths, albeit not spectacular ones. On long journeys, the relaxed riding position and the good suspension, which also performs well on winding roads in combination with the improved brakes, are a delight. Pragmatists can look forward to low fuel consumption and a high range, and it can even cope with light off-roads.

Finely controllable, good-natured engine with linear power delivery

Good brakes

Good, well-balanced suspension

Comfortable seating position

High range

Agile handling

Never overtaxes the rider, but allows riding pleasure

Traction control can be easily deactivated

Transmission shifts very cleanly

Limited off-road capability

ABS not disengageable

somewhat low power and payload (185 kg) for riding with a pillion passenger

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2024

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2024

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can get to your heart. It is probably due to this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally customised to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent Ride-by-Wire system, the engine is more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of travel at the front and rear, the suspension is really well trimmed for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good so far, only tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat due to the somewhat acute knee angle.

Great engine

fully adjustable suspension

manageable, clever electronic features

great quickshifter up/down series

very practical bike

harmonious and pleasant handling on asphalt and road

extremely versatile bike

acute knee angle for riders with long legs on standard seat
