Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023
It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can drive into your heart. Probably it is precisely because of this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally adjusted to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent ride-by-wire system, the engine seems more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, the chassis is really well tuned for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good, but tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat because of the somewhat acute knee angle.
KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
The 390 Adventure has never been so uncompromisingly trimmed for off-road use. With powerful travel, modern electronics and less than 180 kg, the 390 Adventure R could be the long sought-after, all-rounder among touring enduros. It can easily conquer motorway stages, be chased through twisties or transmitted over hill and dale. But there is a potential catch: the engine taken from the 390 Duke is also very hungry for revs in the Adventure R. This results in constant shifting and hardly any spontaneous propulsion. This can be particularly annoying in enduro bike mode. So whether the KTM 390 Adventure R can fulfil long-standing desires remains a matter of taste.
