Suzuki V-Strom 250 2017
It's always nice to see how much potential "small" motorbikes can have. The Suzuki V-Strom 250 is no exception. The first time you sit down, you immediately feel at home thanks to the comfortable seating position. Its in-line two-cylinder engine with 25 hp doesn't show off with power, of course, but it lets you flow comfortably with the traffic. Add a pannier system to the rear and you quickly have a lightweight touring enduro that is very easy to ride.
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016
In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
