Suzuki V-Strom 650 2015

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.

Husqvarna Norden 901 2022

During the test in the USA, the Husqvarna was exposed to probably the toughest test conditions. The tour led through deserts, up high mountains and through scorching hot valleys. Highways as well as hectic city traffic had to be negotiated. In the end, the Norden 901 proved to be a likeable, reliable and thoroughly successful adventure motorbike that is a pleasure to travel with.
