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.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

A lenda está de volta, a Honda afirmou de todo o coração - mas a missão foi bem sucedida ao mais alto grau, o Africa Twin com o nome bastante volumoso CRF1000L Africa Twin é um enduro muito ágil e excelentemente montável que funciona bem em todas as superfícies. Isso também se aplica a cascalho e trilhas únicas, onde o fácil manuseio é, naturalmente, muito importante. Com 95 hp, é um orgulhoso 65 hp a menos do que o Elite, mas você não precisa de mais para um manuseio tão equilibrado. Num aspeto, a CRF1000L Africa Twin é completamente incomparável - pode ser encomendada com uma DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
