Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX 1250 F 2010

At a sensationally low price, you get a big bike with a 1255 cubic injection engine and plenty of power, ABS, a comfortable, height-adjustable seat and a fully equipped cockpit with integrated gear indicator. A lot of motorbike for little money.

Lots of power

strong engine

mature, stable power unit

reasonable price

ABS.

Relatively heavy sports tourer.

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Still sensational. It scores with the familiar Honda virtues, but never gets stale. A motorbike that goes with you through thick and thin and doesn't tire even on extra-long tours. Very robust off-road, also copes with really tough passages without any problems. Still the benchmark for touring enduros in 2017.

Comfortable but not boring

Pleasant and perfectly dimensioned engine

Seat height a tad lower than on the KTM- from 175cm height it could work

Suspension elements do everything off-road, but are too comfortably tuned at high speeds

traction control is annoying off-road - always has to be readjusted after every short break.
