Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2024

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can get into your heart. It doesn't flaunt its performance figures, it doesn't impress with its futuristic design, it doesn't clamour for attention. Instead, it does something much more important: it becomes more familiar, more reliable, more likeable with every kilometre ridden. After days of intensive use through challenging off-road terrain, this bike has turned out to be what you need most on long journeys - an unagitated, robust, uncompromising partner that simply works.

Cultivated, sensitively responsive engine with high running culture

excellent reponsiveness in all situations

robust, solid workmanship with a high level of confidence

balanced suspension for lengthy tours and moderate off-road

precise quickshifter as standard

practical seating position for sitting and standing

sufficient ground clearance and sensible suspension travel reserves

confident behaviour with extreme height differences and temperature changes

very robust overall impression

Sharp knee angle for riders with long legs on standard seat

maximum lean angle on tarmac brakes sporty riders

adjustable windscreen only with tools

no standard heated grips despite touring orientation

compact windscreen offers somewhat meagre wind protection

slightly higher weight than direct competitors interferes with manoeuvring

CFMOTO 450MT 2024

The CFmoto 450MT is a compelling choice as a lightweight and comfortable bike for adventure touring enthusiasts seeking a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On the road, the twin-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet performs with confidence. The build quality and appearance are impressive, and the engine’s power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load-change reactions. Minor criticisms concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under heavy use. Overall, the CFmoto 450MT offers good value for money and is an attractive choice for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped enduro bike.

Lightweight and comfortable for adventure bikes

high-quality build and attractive design

sufficient engine power for off-road use

excellent value for money

very smooth-shifting clutch

precise transmission

The original suspension reaches its limits under heavy use

the seating ergonomics aren’t quite ideal for taller riders

the remaining range and fuel tank capacity displays get confused in the event of a crash and need to be reset!
