Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2014

No segmento de enduro de grandes dimensões, a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ocupa a posição de melhor relação qualidade/preço, mas não tem de prescindir de nada - até o controlo de tração e o ABS são de série. Excelentes travões, grande conforto e um motor V-twin maravilhosamente potente são ingredientes que devem agradar a quase toda a gente. O facto de não jogar na liga superior com 100 cv é compensado pela maravilhosa entrega de potência, que garante um clima descontraído em viagens longas. Apenas a proteção contra o vento não é a ideal com o para-brisas original; deve investir-se no para-brisas acessível, um pouco maior.
