Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 800 2024

The Suzuki V-Strom 800 impresses in the travel test with its great balance. It is relaxed to ride in everyday life, remains comfortable on longer journeys and delivers more riding pleasure on winding roads than its sober appearance would suggest. It is precisely this versatility that makes it a strong travelling companion.

easy to handle, yet fun and powerful two-cylinder engine

high level of ride comfort

relaxed ergonomics

good-natured and predictable riding performance

balanced touring qualities

confident on varying tarmac surfaces

Suspension clearly comfort-orientated at very ambitious speeds

limited maximum lean angle

only suitable to a limited extent for rough off-road use (ABS cannot be disengaged)

wind protection for tall riders only okay, not brilliant

Suzuki GSX-8R 2024

The GSX-8R brings a breath of fresh air to the mid-range sports faction - without appearing too radical or nervous. Even though it has a sporty appearance, it is very beginner-friendly at its core: the same 776 cc twin cylinder as in the V-Strom delivers linear, predictable propulsion. The riding position is sportier but not aggressive - ideal for beginners looking for a more dynamic look and crisper road holding without having to fight with superbikes. It conveys control and confidence, ideal for first or new experiences on the tarmac.

Sporty look with naked bike comfort

Suitable for touring thanks to good leg ergonomics

Stable rear-view mirrors

Accessible seat height

Rough quickshifter
