Suzuki V-Strom 650 2011

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2011

A very well-equipped Suzuki, the likes of which you don't see every day. From the extensively integrated electronics to the pleasant riding experience, you basically have everything you need for motorcycling.

Relatively low overall weight

pleasant sound

positive ergonomics and seat comfort

strong, well-controllable brakes

ABS

well equipped.

The engine does tend to slow down with a passenger on long journeys.

KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

The KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
