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.

Those who are not put off by the 412 kilos ready to ride will be rewarded by the Indian Roadmaster's amazingly easy handling. The engine, which revs up confidently from the very bottom, and the transparent chassis make it easy for every rider to control the heavy bike. The braking system needs manual force, but it can be dosed well and the seating position is, as expected, designed not to squeeze anywhere, even over hundreds of kilometres. Apart from the lack of reverse gear (which many people don't need/want anyway), the Roadmaster is fully equipped - nothing is missing. You don't even have to do without an electric windshield!
