Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2020

BMW F 900 R 2020

The BMW F 900 R offers easy-to-use cornering fun, enormously high stability, an active yet comfortable riding position and a smooth but also unemotional engine. Those who like it fast and twisty will be happy with it. The possibilities for configuration are almost endless but of course not free of charge.

easy handling, high stability

chassis with fine response

well-behaved engine

brakes without blame

active yet bearable seating position

infinitely long list of accessories.

Small tank (13l)

Good engine

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2026

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2026

The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.

Lively, economical engine

balanced handling

good wind protection

traction control and ABS as standard

looks in the style of its big sister

extensive instrumentation with gear indicator

12-volt socket in the cockpit area

good price.

Traction control in mode 2 very restrictive
