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.

manageable, clever electronic features

quickshifter up/down standard

acute knee angle for riders with long legs

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X is an emotional and powerful bike that feels just as comfortable on long touring tours as it does on challenging winding roads. With its charismatic engine and stable geometry, it conveys a powerful riding experience and attracts attention with its striking design. But it also impresses in practical terms, particularly with its versatility and suitability for everyday use. However, there are weaknesses in the features and handling, which should not go unmentioned for a bike in this price range.

magnificent engine

beautiful appearance

full electronics package

large scrambler (also) for small people

pleasingly low fuel consumption and emissions

sound as bassy as ever

good everyday suitability for lengthy tours

reliable, lean angle-dependent traction control.

Limited lean angle freedom

Exhaust heat still noticeable

Suspension not adjustable except for rear suspension preload

ABS too defensive on slippery tarmac

Noticeable vibrations at high speeds

Lack of cruise control
