Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT 2019

The V-Strom 650 XT may be getting on a bit, but it's still a good bike. Especially if you don't need a colour display and don't intend to leave the paved road. The 650 is an easy motorbike to ride and is hardly ever out of its depth. What's more, this model has already proven itself a zillion times over, which underlines its durability and longevity.

Simple, uncomplicated bike

proven technology

good price/performance ratio

Design and equipment are a bit outdated

very limited off-road capability

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2020

Suzuki has chosen a somewhat wooden name for the GSX-S 1000 F, but otherwise the ingredients have been finely put together. The handlebars and the bike's stance are strongly reminiscent of a naked bike. The chassis as well as the engine will delight sports bike fans. A truly worthy sports tourer.

Stable chassis allows high cornering speed

rev-happy and sporty engine

pleasant wide handlebars provide a direct driving feel

low weight for this league

Engine response could be better

Stylish and practical: PRO tank bags from SW-MOTECH

Simple attachment thanks to magnetic snap-in closure. For safe luggage transport.
