Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2017
Même si Suzuki n'a peut-être pas mis autant d'efforts dans le développement de la V-Strom que la concurrence dans les enduros de voyage, la Suzuki peut utiliser cet état de fait à son avantage. Dans un monde où les packs électroniques sont nombreux, elle se présente encore de manière très puriste dans l'année-modèle 2019, seul l'ABS en virage laisse entrevoir une innovation. De nombreux clients souhaitent une moto simple et c'est précisément à ce groupe cible que s'adresse la V-Strom 1000.

La KTM 1090 Adventure est un grand pas en avant par rapport à son prédécesseur, la 1050 Adventure, en direction de ses grandes sœurs. Le package électronique avec les Riding Modes réglables, le contrôle de traction et l'ABS reste certes à un niveau déjà élevé, mais le moteur développe désormais 125 ch, soit environ un tiers ( !) de plus que la 1050. Ce qui est presque plus important, c'est qu'il peut désormais tirer librement jusqu'à plus de 10 000 tours et offre ainsi une plage de régime plus exploitable. Il est difficile de trouver une moto plus équilibrée dans la catégorie des grandes enduros de voyage encore à peu près abordables.
