Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2022

In 2020, the V-Strom was improved in a number of ways. The look now fits the great motorbike better and also exudes more attention to detail. The heart of the bike, the engine, is still just as much fun as before. A great power unit! It doesn't overtax, but provides a lot of riding pleasure! It is suitable for everyday use, but also offers a lot of charisma!

Great V2 engine that is completely convincing in practice

good wind protection

pleasant seating comfort

great long-distance capability.

Deficits in the equipment - some details from the XT are unfortunately missed

Triumph Tiger Explorer XC 2013

The Triumph Tiger Explorer XC is a stately motorbike that already signals when stationary that it does not necessarily want to be abused as an entry-level machine. The bulky fairing therefore fits very well with the overall character of the British men's motorbike.

Light handling

agile

fun to ride

direction changes made easy

flawless functioning of the brakes

upright seating position.

The big Tiger cannot rely on a particularly low centre of gravity,
