Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré World Crosser 2012
Not a powerhouse, but always confident, always nippy. And also a very harmonious overall package that has no conspicuous negative outliers. Everything works well. And that is very good.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2015
In the large enduro segment, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupies the position of the cheapest offer, yet you don't have to do without anything - even traction control and ABS are included as standard. Excellent brakes, great comfort and a wonderfully powerful V-twin engine are ingredients that should please almost everyone. The fact that it doesn't play in the top league with 100 hp is made up for by the wonderful power delivery, which ensures a relaxed climate on long journeys. Only the wind protection is not optimal with the original windshield; one should invest in the affordable, somewhat larger windshield.
