Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2010

A very well-equipped Suzuki, the likes of which you don't see every day. From the extensively integrated electronics to the pleasant riding experience, you basically have everything you need for motorcycling.

Relatively low overall weight

pleasant sound

positive ergonomics and seat comfort

strong, well-controllable brakes

ABS

well equipped.

The engine does tend to slow down with a passenger on long journeys.

Triumph Tiger 800 XRT 2018

The Tiger 800 XRt is not only the slightly more road-oriented top model in the Tiger 800 range, it is also the best-selling model - and that could well remain the case with the new model. With a 19-inch front wheel and off-road mode, off-road excursions are no problem, while road riding and long journeys are sweetened with an incredible amount of luxury. In addition to cautious visual retouching, there is now a very easy height-adjustable windshield and 5 riding modes. Full LED lighting and a backlit control unit. Cleverly, the top models XRt and XCa are given the full LED lighting, the backlit control unit as well as heated grips and seats exclusively along the way.

Powerful engine

easy handling

full comfort equipment

pleasant seating position

five different riding modes

traction control and ABS can be deactivated

Colour TFT display not optimally anti-reflective

little slope clearance
