Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2025

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can get into your heart. It doesn't flaunt its performance figures, it doesn't impress with its futuristic design, it doesn't clamour for attention. Instead, it does something much more important: it becomes more familiar, more reliable, more likeable with every kilometre ridden. After days of intensive use through challenging off-road terrain, this bike has turned out to be what you need most on long journeys - an unagitated, robust, uncompromising partner that simply works.

Cultivated, sensitively responsive engine with high running culture

excellent reponsiveness in all situations

robust, solid workmanship with a high level of confidence

balanced suspension for lengthy tours and moderate off-road

precise quickshifter as standard

practical seating position for sitting and standing

sufficient ground clearance and sensible suspension travel reserves

confident behaviour with extreme height differences and temperature changes

very robust overall impression

Sharp knee angle for riders with long legs on standard seat

maximum lean angle on tarmac brakes sporty riders

adjustable windscreen only with tools

no standard heated grips despite touring orientation

compact windscreen offers somewhat meagre wind protection

slightly higher weight than direct competitors interferes with manoeuvring

BMW F 900 GS Adventure 2025

The small Adventure looks really big even next to an R 1300 GS. The bike offers a high level of riding comfort combined with accessible handling. However, due to the huge tank and the ponderous front end, it loses a significant advantage of the F 900 GS - it is not a lighter-footed alternative to a large Adventure.

Practical features

high range

pleasantly controllable engine

great electronics package

great riding comfort

pleasant ergonomics

easy handling

Off-road and when manoeuvring, the bike feels tiring and heavy

the bike looks cumbersome and clumsy
