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 to your heart. It is probably due to this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally customised to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent Ride-by-Wire system, the engine is more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of travel at the front and rear, the suspension is really well trimmed for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good so far, only tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat due to the somewhat acute knee angle.

Great engine

fully adjustable suspension

manageable, clever electronic features

great quickshifter up/down series

very practical bike

harmonious and pleasant handling on asphalt and road

extremely versatile bike

very robust construction - bike looks reliable and inspires confidence

acute knee angle for riders with long legs on standard seat

maximum lean angle on tarmac brakes sporty riders

Adjustable windscreen only with tools

high weight is annoying when manoeuvring

BMW F 900 XR 2025

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride bike

cool looks, great display

good brakes

light handling

stable riding feel

great connectivity

high maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

reliable and practical Advanced Rider Assistance Systems such as lean angle ABS

moderate seat height and slim design for universal comfort

good value for money.

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter
