BMW F 800 GS 2009

BMW F 800 GS 2009

Fully equipped with special equipment from Touratech, the BMW looked very imposing and gave the impression of a real, masculine adventurer's motorbike. Headlight grille, engine guard, grippy, wider footrests, and much more hopefully deceived many eyewitnesses about the same-sex partnership on the breathable comfort seat.

Fully equipped with optional extras

imposing impression

good workmanship

pleasant chassis.

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2019

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2019

Even though Suzuki may not have put as much work into the development of the V-Strom as its competitors in touring enduros, the Suzuki can use this circumstance to its advantage. In a world with extensive electronics packages, it still looks very purist in the 2019 model year, with only the cornering ABS hinting at innovation. Many customers want a simple motorbike, and the V-Strom 1000 appeals to precisely this target group. Its lusty V2 exudes endless character and, thanks to years of testing, is a bulletproof companion. Combined with the potent chassis and relaxed seating position, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 gives you a sporty touring enduro that stands up to the digitalisation of motorbikes in today's world.

V2 full of character

mature technology

stable handling

ABS curves

comfortable seating position

easy-to-read instruments

the perfect touring enduro for purists.

Technically not up to date
