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

Yamaha Tenere 700 Explore 2024

The addition of the Ténéré Explore to the model family makes the adventure bike with cult status accessible to a whole new interest group. The shorter travel compared to the other Ténéré 700 models lowers the seat height to 860 millimetres. This results in a more secure stance both off-road and in urban environments. The Explore is made for Ténéré fans who are mainly travelling on asphalt roads.

Quickshifter (Up) on board as standard

pannier rack included ex works

accessible for smaller Ténéré fans, comfort on longer tours

Less travel for off-road

Quickshifter (Down) not yet possible due to missing Ride-by-Wire
