Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2011

I like the Tiger 800 XC not only on the road for my daily commute to work. It is a very uncomplicated vehicle which, thanks to the powerful and lively engine, is not only very useful but also a lot of fun. On the racetrack, I actually only used the vehicle for my instructor work. But I couldn't help it and had to take to the track once in the faster group. The high-quality chassis and the agile engine were a joy to ride and the Tiger 800 XC is THE universal talent par excellence for me.

lively engine

sporty but comfortable chassis

very easy to handle

lots of practical benefits

great price/performance ratio

Spartan dashboards

on-board computer cannot be operated from the end of the handlebar

wind / weather protection not so great

Husqvarna Norden 901 2023

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 is a very suitable motorbike for travelling with its lavish standard equipment, but on the other hand it does not shy away from adventures with its long suspension travel, lively engine and active ergonomics. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low-slung fuel tank, which makes life easy on and off the paved roads.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine response

Linear rev band

Hardly any vibration in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

High level of ride comfort

Pleasantly tuned chassis

Accessible but at the same time exciting character

Reliable even on long tours

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds
