Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020
Even though the new V-Strom 1050 has moved up in price to a league in which it has to be compared more with the competition than before, it has remained true to itself despite the most modern safety features, or rather, it has remained an uncomplicated motorbike that is ready for the big journey. Its favourite terrain is the road, which, thanks to the good chassis, can also be bad and bumpy. Off-road passages are no problem either, but those who regularly seek rougher terrain will be less likely to end up with the Suzuki due to its mighty weight. On paved roads, however, the mass can be moved surprisingly quickly and effortlessly. The addictive engine, the successful retro design and the extreme suitability for touring make the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT a top motorbike for long journeys.
Triumph Tiger Sport 800 2025
The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 presents itself as a versatile sport touring motorcycle that offers a successful blend of sportiness and suitability for everyday use. Particularly noteworthy are the new 798 cubic centimetre three-cylinder engine with its linear power delivery and yet still plenty of character, as well as the well-tuned Showa suspension, which offers both comfort and stability. The features with quickshifter, cruise control, cornering ABS and traction control as standard also emphasise the bike's modern aspirations. The ergonomics are accessible to many riders thanks to the low seat height and narrow design, while the fuel consumption and range are impressive. However, the wind protection shows weaknesses, especially for taller riders. However, this hardly detracts from the overall impression, especially when the price of the Tiger Sport 800 is taken into account. No other new crossover bike offers this kind of value for money.
