Prós e contras em comparação
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2017

O que a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 conseguia fazer muito bem antes, a nova V-Strom 1000 e a V-Strom 1000XT também conseguem fazer muito bem: uma moto bem equilibrada que não foge à condução desportiva com boa capacidade para longas distâncias. Além disso, existem agora características ultramodernas, como o ABS de ângulo de inclinação e o sistema de travagem combinado, que tornam a condução ainda mais segura e rápida. A Suzuki leva as críticas a sério, o para-brisas foi aumentado e, de acordo com a tendência, a V-Strom 1000 vem agora numa versão XT ligeiramente mais off-road com jantes de raios de arame, que não só aumentam a estabilidade, mas também o aspeto fresco - especialmente com as jantes douradas da pintura amarela. Para além de todas estas vantagens, o preço baixo continua a ser o argumento decisivo para a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 / XT.
KTM 890 Adventure 2021

A Adventure transmite uma leveza e uma desportividade que muitas vezes faltam na classe das enduros de turismo. O motor é vivo e assegura manobras de ultrapassagem rápidas na passagem. No entanto, a desportividade atrevida perde algo do conforto de viagem digno que se deseja, especialmente em etapas mais longas.
