Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki DR-Z4S 2025

The Suzuki DR-Z4S is an all-round successful comeback - not a shallow retro rehash, but a consistently modernised further development of a popular and proven concept. It remains true to its line: robust, easy to use, versatile and yet capable of many things. It is a bike for a small niche of riders, between hard enduro riders and adventure bike riders. For this niche, however, it fills an important gap as a true dual sport bike and hardly allows itself any weaknesses. The most critical points are the remaining 5-speed transmission and the high price. Whether these points discourage a purchase or whether the DR-Z4S is still worthwhile as a legend and versatile vehicle remains a matter of taste.
Husqvarna FE 501 2024

Overpowered? Yes, of course! But in the saddle, this also has its advantages. In many situations, you can save yourself over difficult obstacles even with the wrong gear. The 501 can cope with the lowest revs and chugs ponderously along the track when tired. Sporty pilots will probably avoid the FE 501. They will achieve better lap times with the 350 or the 2-strokes. However, the 501 is a good choice for experienced pilots who also like to ride long passages without racing stress.
