Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2016

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2016

I det stora endurosegmentet ger Suzuki V-Strom 1000 mest för pengarna, men du behöver inte avstå från något - traction control och ABS ingår som standard. Utmärkta bromsar, bra komfort och en underbart kraftfull V-twinmotor är ingredienser som borde tilltala nästan alla. Det faktum att den inte spelar i toppligan med 100 hk kompenseras av den underbara kraftöverföringen, vilket garanterar ett avslappnat klimat på långa resor. Endast vindskyddet är inte optimalt med den ursprungliga vindrutan; man bör investera i den prisvärda, något större vindrutan.

Kraftfull motor

traction control som standard

mycket bra bromsar

spänt men bekvämt chassi

bra touringegenskaper

komplett instrumentering

Vindrutan skapar turbulens på huvudet

motorn tappar andan i det övre varvtalsområdet, godtycklig optik

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

The legend is back, Honda claimed wholeheartedly - but the mission has succeeded to the highest degree, the Africa Twin with the rather bulky name CRF1000L Africa Twin is a very agile and excellently rideable enduro that works well on all surfaces. This also applies to gravel and single trails, where easy handling is of course very important. With 95 hp, it is a proud 65 hp short of the Elite, but you don't need more for such balanced handling. In one respect, the CRF1000L Africa Twin is completely unrivalled - it can be ordered with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).

extremely good and pleasant to drive

engine revs up nicely

great handling

works very well off-road

very suitable for travelling

unique DCT dual-clutch transmission
