Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2024

Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2024

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 range to include the DE model, Suzuki now has the right large V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will be staying almost exclusively on the road will find a reliable travelling companion in the standard model, but those who are less restricted in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find a good choice in the DE. The machine looks robust, is easy to ride and offers a high level of long-distance comfort. The weight is too high for very serious off-road use and the travel is too short. However, as with the standard model, the main selling point remains the marvellous engine, which leaves little to be desired with its rich torque.

powerful engine

simple but high-quality electronics package with intuitive operation

good ergonomics both sitting and standing

gravel mode for off-road beginners

off-road ABS function

balanced long-distance comfort

robust, tough and reliable

successful retro look

reasonable price

seems large and somewhat unwieldy when manoeuvring

above-average weight

travel could be greater

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2022

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield with good adjustment range

semi-active suspension close to perfection.

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

handguards not very robust for off-road use
