Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger 800 2011
It seems Triumph has built a motorbike that has made the most pronounced trait in wildcats - suppleness - the overriding principle of its dynamics. The Tiger is elegant, controlled and deliberate in the use of its power.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2014
In the large enduro segment, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupies the position of the best value for money, yet you don't have to do without anything - even traction control and ABS come as standard. Excellent brakes, great comfort and a wonderfully powerful V-twin engine are ingredients that should appeal to almost everyone. The fact that it doesn't play in the top league with 100 hp is made up for by the wonderful power delivery, which ensures a relaxed climate on long journeys. Only the wind protection is not optimal with the original windshield; one should invest in the affordable, somewhat larger windshield.
