Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2023

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 models, Suzuki now has the right big V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will stay almost exclusively on the road will find the standard model a reliable travel companion or even a buddy for all days; those who want to limit themselves less in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find the DE a good choice. The main argument, however, remains this engine, which with its 107 hp and above all its rich torque leaves hardly anything to be desired.

powerful motor

high-quality electronics package

excellent ergonomics

very good gravel mode

off-road ABS

intuitive operation of the electronics

long-distance comfort

Successful retro look

high weight

Suspension travel could be greater

Honda CB 1100 2013

All in all, the CB 1100 is certainly not a motorbike for consumer fetishists. Once purchased, it will serve you faithfully for the next 20 to 30 years. It will not look much older than it does today. It will probably not bring in less money than it would have after 3-4 years if it had been sold.

Optimal chassis

relaxed cornering transitions

fun, stress-free ride

discreetly integrated ABS.

Very heavy weight

somewhat little power.
