Suzuki V-Strom 800 2023

The V-Strom 800 surprises with a high level of comfort, superior handling and sensible features ex works. The Adventure and DE versions in particular demonstrate touring expertise with character. If you are on the road a lot and attach importance to overview, comfort and utility, this is the right bike for you.

Well thought-out ergonomics with a good overview in city and touring mode

practical suspension with easily adjustable preload

standard features (such as heated grips and panniers) ideal for frequent riders

good balance between comfort and control

Limited tilt angle

Engine mapping very cosy

Rather nervous at low revs

Rough quickshifter

KTM 790 Adventure 2019

KTM 790 Adventure 2019

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped
