Pros and Cons in comparison
Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 2021
The Pan America 1250 is Harley-Davidson's first attempt in the segment of large touring enduros and it has definitely succeeded! Apart from a few, rather negligible flaws, the Pan America 1250 Special is an all-round good adventure bike that even pleases with its off-road qualities. The Revolution Max V2 engine has a sporty character, placing it perfectly in the luxury enduro bike class. With innovative features such as the Adaptive Ride Height System, the Americans could even manage to acquire a larger number of new customers for whom the usual suspects in the big enduro bike segment are all too high.
Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2021
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.
