Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2024

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 range to include the DE model, Suzuki now has the right large V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will be staying almost exclusively on the road will find a reliable travelling companion in the standard model, but those who are less restricted in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find a good choice in the DE. The machine looks robust, is easy to ride and offers a high level of long-distance comfort. The weight is too high for very serious off-road use and the travel is too short. However, as with the standard model, the main selling point remains the marvellous engine, which leaves little to be desired with its rich torque.

Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour 2024

In numerous tests, the Multistrada has had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and has usually been the fastest and overall best motorbike. With the V4 S Grand Tour, Ducati now packs all the high-tech features as standard and adds sensible upgrades to the model in terms of temperature management. A touring enduro can't get much better - and not much more expensive either.

Unbelievably great handling - neutral, harmonious, manageable but still stable

Real touring enduro feeling in the saddle

Great brakes

Fascinating, impressively powerful engine
