Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 650 2015
Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.
Yamaha Tracer 700 2017
The fact that the Yamaha MT-07 is the main parts donor for the Tracer 700 becomes apparent at the latest when you first open the throttle: the powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine exudes agility and a tremendous amount of riding fun. This makes it easy to live with on a touring enduro, which is a good match for longer distances. The chassis could be a little more precise and the windshield could be a little higher, but overall the Tracer 700 is the ultimate fun bike in its class - a lot of fun for comparatively little money.
