Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020

Even though the new V-Strom 1050 has moved up in price to a league in which it has to be compared more with the competition than before, it has remained true to itself despite the most modern safety features, or rather, it has remained an uncomplicated motorbike that is ready for the big journey. Its favourite terrain is the road, which, thanks to the good chassis, can also be bad and bumpy. Off-road passages are no problem either, but those who regularly seek rougher terrain will be less likely to end up with the Suzuki due to its mighty weight. On paved roads, however, the mass can be moved surprisingly quickly and effortlessly. The addictive engine, the successful retro design and the extreme suitability for touring make the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT a top motorbike for long journeys.

KTM 1190 Adventure 2014

KTM 1190 Adventure 2014

With no other "all-rounder" motorbike will you be so fast. An unbeatable climber, especially on narrow mountain roads, but also a pleasant companion on the daily ride to work.

Combines sport with comfort

buttery smooth gearbox

powerful and well controllable engine

excellent seating position

manageable chassis

sophisticated electronics

lean angle ABS.

Engine jerks a little below 3000 revs

unlike its predecessor, it no longer looks quite so independent

smooth gliding is not its strong point.
